Is Trump scrambling to secure votes from his base with all these raids? :roll:

Mass deportation agents attempted to raid a Brooklyn, New York, shelter for homeless families and detain someone, director and former New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said, but were blocked when they failed to show a judicial warrant.


The New York Daily News reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at the East New York WIN shelter Wednesday night claiming they had a signed warrant. “They showed nothing except for a picture of an individual,” Quinn said. “The guards kept saying, ‘Show us a warrant signed by a judge.’ They wouldn’t show a warrant.”


That’s because they didn’t have one, and it’s common for ICE to lie about having one. What is also becoming more disturbingly common is an emboldened ICE taking gross steps in order to separate more families, skirting their own policy and detaining people outside churches, schools, and hospitals.


ICE also appears to be lying even about agents showing up at the WIN shelter, with the New York Daily News further reporting that “ICE spokeswoman Rachael Yong Yow denied that ICE sent an enforcement team to the shelter.” So clearly everyone at the shelter, including the director and the former speaker of the city council, dreamt it all up.


“Our most basic job at WIN is keeping our clients safe,” Quinn continued. “That means keeping them safe from abusers, that means keeping them safe from neighborhood factors and that means keeping them safe from the biggest bully of all—the president of the United States.” A shelter resident agreed: “It’s good they didn’t let them in.”

What is "POLICE ICE"?
 
Kind of interesting, bounty hunters often fake being law enforcement. The NYPD issued an alert to officers in Kings County, Brooklyn, not to interfere with bail bondsmen seeking to secure bond defaulters possibly gone to ground in area homeless shelters, about 10 days ago. 7 names were released to law enforcement of wanted bail jumpers. Bail bondsmen require no warrants to enter a premises in pursuit of bail bond violators. They can use whatever means they find necessary to secure the violators, backed by Supreme Court decisions going back to the early 19th century. Those decisions never over turned by later cases or legislation. Nor are they subject to Miranda case law. They have the right to shoot and kill on sight. They are not subject to prosecution for killing innocent bystanders in the line of fire. Without bail bonds, our system of justice collapses.

To avoid inter agency conflicts, ICE regularly alerts local law enforcement of actions pending. An action of safety for both local LE and ICE personnel. The NYPD has received no ICE alerts during the past 12 months. This is standard operating procedure for all inter agency law enforcement, with exception when local law enforcement is the target, and even then. Bail bondsmen offer no such alerts as a practice, occasionally as a courtesy.

Without warrants, how's that?

The law isn't clear. ICE can issue its own warrants. Immigration attorneys claim that dependent upon local laws, a warrant issued by a judge or magistrate is required. ICE claims federal law supersedes local law. Cases are now being adjudicated on court calendars in different jurisdictions, likely to eventually appear on the Supreme Court calendar as one combined case for efficiency of argument.

An interesting side note. Supposedly two of the men who claimed they were ICE agents attempting to enter the homeless shelter displayed Federal Marshall ID's. Currently there are three Deputy Marshall's working in the Eastern District. None of the three have been on field assignments during the past year, or recently. All three are fulfilling administrative duties at the Federal District Courthouse. Murkier and murkier.
