What's so wrong about obtaining a judicial warrant to enter private property? That's not what the federal law requires. Congress themselves wrote the Immigration Nationality act that gave power on administrative warrant to arrest somebody. and that's what's set up in federal statutes. So if Congress wants that change, then Congress can legislate. But right now ICE is acting within the framework of federal statutes enacted by Congress and signed by President. (03:35–03:44)
