Immigration officers have been empowered to enter people’s homes by force, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo.
The memo, obtained by the Associated Press and dated May 12, 2025, says that ICE officers in possession of administrative warrants—that is, Form I-205s and not judicial warrants signed by a judge—must first “knock and announce,” stating their identity and purpose, before allowing residents a “reasonable chance” to answer the door.
“Should the alien refuse admittance,” the memo continues, “ICE officers and agents should use only a necessary and reasonable amount of force to enter the alien’s residence, following proper notification of the officer’s or agent’s authority and intent to enter.”
