2/ICE is arguing that if they think a non-citizen for whom there is a final order of deportation is in a house, they can blow right past the 4th Amendment, take the doors off the house if they aren’t admitted voluntarily & go in. But the 4th Amendment doesn’t change just because ICE says so.

1/ICE, contrary to longstanding 4th Amendment jurisprudence, now says it can enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant; an administrative warrant suffices. That's a form signed by a gov't employee who can be fired if they displease the president. It’s not difficult to see the problem here.

NEW: ACLU of Louisiana asks a federal judge to order the govt to immediately return Chanthila (Shawn) Souvannarath from Laos, to which it deported him over the weekend in violation of the judge's injunction. @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Petitioner Chanthila Souvannarath ("Petitioner" or "Mr. Souvannarath"), through his undersigned attorneys, asks this Court to enforce its October 23, 2025 Temporary Restraining Order. ECF No. 4. The Order stated that: "Respondents, their officers, agents, servants, employees,
attorneys, and other persons acting on their behalf are immediately prohibited from removing
Petitioner Chanthila Souvannarath from the United States and from transferring him out of the
jurisdiction of this Court." Id. (emphasis added). That decision was premised on the fact that Mr. Souvannarath had made out a substantial claim to United States citizenship'-and yet, despite this Court's unequivocal order and Respondent's knowledge that Petitioner had a claim to United
States citizenship, Mr. Souvannarath was unlawfully removed from this Court's jurisdiction and
the United States of America. Mr. Souvannarath accordingly respectfully requests his repatriation
so that he can return to his family and continue to raise his three children.
