House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told illegal immigrants who are subject to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations that they can refuse to open the door for agents if they do not have a warrant signed by a judge. Pelosi’s advice comes after reports that the immigration enforcement operation is scheduled to begin over the weekend.
“An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a deportation warrant. If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home,” Pelosi said during a press conference on July 11.
