    Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

    ICE Says It Doesn’t Need A Judicial Warrant

    By Joyce Vance, Jan 21, 2026

    It’s been a long time since we took a night off. I honestly can’t remember the last time. But tonight I’m going to turn in early, after a long day. Before I do that, I wanted to flag one development with ICE for you.

    I also want to leave you with some reason for optimism. You may have seen the news that ICE has now surged agents to Maine, predominantly to the cities of Portland and Lewiston, where there are large Somali immigrant communities. This is an echo of the focus on the Somali community in Minnesota.

    Tonight, close to 1,000 people joined the mighty Maine ACLU for training on their legal rights and non-violent protest. It was an honor to get to participate in it. When we talk about community building and supporting democracy, this is what it’s all about: people committed to standing up for their rights and for their neighbors’ rights. There is training across the country that you can participate in to better educate yourself about your right to protest peacefully.

    Now, the development: The Associated Press is reporting that it has seen a memo ICE is using for internal agent training that asserts “sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant.” The Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable search and seizure, has always been understood to require a warrant signed by a judge, not an administrative warrant signed by a DHS employee to enter a private residence or private areas of a business.

    From post…

    This new policy stance might explain some of the incidents that have been reported in Minnesota, where agents have made forcible entry into homes to remove people and put them into deportation proceedings without a judicial warrant. This sounds like what might have been at work when agents forcibly entered the home of a Hmong man in Minnesota who has been an American citizen for decades, and according to his statement, declined to produce a warrant and claimed he was subject to removal before forcing him out into the freezing cold in his underwear. It turned out that they got it wrong and were forced to release him a few hours later.

    The AP reported that they witnessed ICE officers ramming through the front door of the home of a Liberian man in Minneapolis on Jan. 11 with only an administrative warrant, wearing heavy tactical gear and with their rifles drawn, which could also be a result of the new policy.

  5. The organization said its work in the #UnitedStates was “solely dedicated to strengthening #democracy & upholding constitutional #freedoms.”

    Saying it condemned #terrorism & denying that it funded it, the group added, “Our activities are #peaceful & #lawful.”

    After Kirk’s killing, #Trump sharply criticized the “radical left,” singling out the #Soros foundation & urging that he be put behind bars. Soros is “a bad guy” who “should be put in jail,” he said.

  8. The decision further clears the way for #Trump to re-fire probationary employees. Those are typically #FederalWorkers in their 1st or 2nd year on the job, or who have been recently promoted.

    In a 2-to-1 decision, the appeals court said the Trump admin was likely to succeed in showing that the lower court lacked #jurisdiction in the case brought by 19 states & DC. The court did not rule on whether the firings were #lawful.

  13. BIG NEWS! I'm writing a new original comic series called LAWFUL, coming this June from BOOM! Studios!

    "Imagine a chunk of a big city ripped from Earth in the 1980s, set down on a fantastical planet, and cursed with one simple spell: every time you break a rule, you turn a bit more into a monster. Now jump forward 75 years and let's see what happens."

  15. Dear #journalists,

    Can you please stop calling what happened on January 6th a "riot"? It was an attempted coup. A #putsch, if you prefer. Or coup d'état if you're high-falutin'.

    A riot is #chaos, usually #spontaneous, with no particular end-goal except "show them we're #angry".

    The January 6 attempted #coup was organized, from the top down, with the express aim of preventing the #lawful transfer of #power.

    It wasn't a goddam #riot.

  16. Yes, I use strong #encryption.

    Why, no, I don't have anything to #hide.

    I also #mail my #correspondence in #opaque #envelopes, rather than on the backs of #postcards.

    No, I don't have anything to hide there, either.

    #Normalize encryption.

    There is no such thing as "#lawful #access". Encryption is #math. There is no math that the "good guys" can do but which cannot be done by the "bad guys".

    Anyone who suggests different is #lying, to #spy on you.

    #Fight them.

  17. Along the way, #Milley deflected #Trump’s exhortations to have the US #military ignore, & even on occasion commit, #WarCrimes. Milley & other military officers deserve praise for protecting #democracy, but their actions should also cause deep #unease. In the #American system, it is the #voters, the #courts, & #Congress that are meant to #serve as #checks on a #president’s behavior, not the generals. #Civilians provide #direction, #funding, & #oversight; the military then follows #lawful #orders.

  18. I find it ironic that even "law enforcment" gets the "#lawful" #interception treatment. #tetra #tetraburst

  19. Laura #Kayali: "Helping France down the path of mass surveillance: a historically strong and centralized state; a powerful law enforcement community; political discourse increasingly focused on law and order; and the terrorist attacks of the 2010s."
