WASHINGTON — In a move that signaled annother aggressive escalation in the administration’s battle over immigration tactics, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) legislative staff spent Tuesday morning distributing a one-page “Bottom Line” document to Democratic congressional offices, defending the use of administrative warrants to enter private residences.
The document, obtained by Migrant Insider, leans heavily on a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by Jimmy Percival. It attempts to provide a legal and political “mandate” for a practice that has recently sparked whistleblower complaints and a brewing constitutional showdown in the courts.
