ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
May 12, 2025 

 MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel

FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director 
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal 

On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)

Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.Arrow) district court judge or magistrate judge in their place of residence.23 ICE immigration officers should consider all available enforcement mechanisms, including the use of a Form 1-205 to arrest an alien in their place of residence, to achieve the requirements of E.O. 14159 in accordance with applicable law and policies. This guidance informs the use of Forms 1-205 and provides to ICE law enforcement personnel a reminder of the general limitations and exceptions that may apply when effectuating arrests in an alien's residence. General Guidelines ICE law enforcement officers receive extensive training on the legal and procedural requirements for making administrative and criminal arrests. ICE personnel must remain cognizant of all existing laws and policies pertaining to arrests when carrying out civil immigration enforcement actions. Prior to entering a residence to conduct an administrative immigration arrest pursuant to Form I-205, officers and agents must ensure the Form 1-205 is properly completed and is supported by a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge, the BIA, a U.S. district court, or a magistrate judge. This is essential because that order establishes probable cause. Officers and agents must also have reason to believe that the subject alien resides at and is currently located in the address where the Form I-205 is to be served.

Look carefully at the video of ICE executing the woman in Minn. NOT ONE other officer has their weapon drawn. Why? Because there was no threat to their lives by the 37 year old woman in the car. One ICE officer decided to execute this woman. This is what MURDER looks like. Charge him NOW!

Democrats in Congress have thus far failed to make a stink out of Pam Bondi's ethical conflicts (some of which she tried to hide during confirmation), most notably w/GEO and Qatar. But Luigi Mangione's defense team may force that issue, claiming she had conflict bc of past ties to United Health.
from Ballard in the form of a profit-sharing plan from Ballard’s professional association with all
of its paying clients, including UHG. These benefits—along with the financial benefits the
Attorney General derived from Ballard while she was a partner and while the partnership divided
up revenue from UHG—show that the Attorney General has a personal and financial interest in
the work Ballard has done on UHG’s behalf. Further, as the Chairperson of Ballard Partner’s
Corporate Regulatory Compliance practice, the Attorney General knew or should have known that
UHG, the largest and richest health care company in the world with annual revenue of about
$400,000,000,000 (four hundred billion dollars), was one of her partnership’s clients, and that she
personally financially profited from Ballard’s lucrative relationship with UHG. 
When Ms. Bondi left Ballard Partners to become the Attorney General in 2025, the very
first defendant she personally selected to be executed was the man accused of killing the CEO of
her former client. The Attorney General’s financial connection to UHG represents a conflict of
interest that should have caused her to recuse herself from making any decisions on this case. Her
failure to do so clearly violated the due process rights of Mr. Mangione and provides yet another
reason why the Notice of Intent should be stricken.2

2This reply is limited to the due process implications of the Attorney General’s actions personally
directing the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty for the alleged murder of her former
client’s CEO. The defense will move separately to address the profound conflict of interest
implications of this situation. As part of that motion, we will seek discovery, including but not
limited to: all communications between UHG, UHC, and Ballard Partners with any employee or
representative of the U.S. Government relating to this matter; the terms of Ms. Bondi’s
compensation from Ballard, including the revenues that Ballard deri…
