Fascist Policies

Internal ICE memo dated May 12, 2025 instructs agents they can forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants using only administrative warrants for people with final orders of removal. Whistleblowers reported this violates Fourth Amendment protections and contradicts ICE's own training materials which state 'a warrant of removal/deportation does NOT alone authorize a 4th amendment search of any kind.' ACLU called it 'flatly unconstitutional.' Policy has been in effect since summer 2025.

Secret agreement between CMS and DHS allows ICE access to personal information of 79 million Medicaid enrollees including ethnicities and addresses. Data fed into Palantir's ImmigrationOS system to generate deportation targets with 'confidence scores' on current addresses.

April 2025 DOJ memo allows immigration judges to drop 'legally deficient asylum cases without a hearing,' fast-tracking deportations by determining asylum ineligibility based solely on form filings without due process.
