Five Immigration Stories That Should Be Leading the News
They're not. That's why we're here.
WASHINGTON — Immigration news has taken a back seat lately to topics as far-ranging as Iran and sexual misconduct in Congress. But there are some hugely important stories. Here are five in particular that you might have missed:
1. ICE Is Kicking Down Doors Without Judge-Signed Warrants
Civil rights groups have filed federal lawsuits in Boston and Washington, D.C., challenging a secret DHS policy that authorizes ICE agents to force entry into homes using an internal Form I-205 “warrant of removal” — a piece of paper no federal judge has ever signed. A whistleblower-revealed May 2025 memo reversed longstanding DHS guidance to greenlight the practice. The Brennan Center calls it what it is: a deliberate attempt to carve out an immigration exception to the Fourth Amendment. U.S. citizens have had their doors breached. The lawsuits include their names.
