...all of that warrantless government intrusion into citizens' homes already ushered into American lives behind Trump's campaign of ethnic cleansing.

GOP lawmaker throws a fit over ICE rules: 'We can't have a warrant every time'

...DHS's warrantless searches primarily involve the Border Search Exception, which allows government officers to conduct searches at the border without a warrant; something that has expanded into communities not located near any US border along with the deployment of Border Control officers and agentsinto those cities and neighborhoods.

But in most of these cases, the law clearly requires a warrant:

While federal statutes confer substantial authority to conduct border searches, this authority is not absolute. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids unreasonable government searches and seizures of "the people," and this limitation extends to searches conducted at the border. The touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is the reasonableness of a search. The Supreme Court has recognized that searches at the border are "qualitatively different" from those occurring in the interior of the United States, because persons entering the country have less robust expectations of privacy, given the federal government's broad power to safeguard the nation by examining persons seeking to enter its territory. While law enforcement searches and seizures within the interior of the United States typically require a judicial warrant supported by probable cause, federal officers may conduct routine inspections and searches of persons attempting to cross the international border without a warrant or any particularized suspicion of unlawful activity. But a border search that extends beyond a routine search and inspection may require at least reasonable suspicion. The Supreme Court has not precisely defined the scope of a routine border search, but has suggested that highly intrusive searches may fall outside that category and thus require heightened suspicion to withstand Fourth Amendment scrutiny.

The Supreme Court and lower courts have applied this border search exception not only to the physical border itself, but also to searches at the border's "functional equivalent," such as at a port of entry in the interior of the United States (e.g., an international airport). Border-related searches and seizures in areas beyond the border or its functional equivalent are generally subject to greater Fourth Amendment scrutiny. For example, government officers may conduct warrantless "extended border searches" of individuals found within the United States if there is both reasonable certainty of a recent border crossing and reasonable suspicion of unlawful activity. Government officers may also conduct certain warrantless searches near the border that do not require evidence of a border crossing. For instance, "roving patrol" stops of vehicles near the border to question the vehicle's occupants are permissible if there is reasonable suspicion of unlawful activity, while probable cause is required to search the vehicle for contraband or other evidence of a crime. And while vehicle stops at fixed immigration checkpoints are permissible without individualized suspicion, government officers must have probable cause to search vehicles at those checkpoints. In addition, government officers may board vessels in interior or coastal waterways to conduct routine document and safety inspections, but may require at least reasonable suspicion to conduct more intrusive searches of the vessel.

2. THIS should be what EVERYONE is talking about. This is dictatorship!

They are spying on dissenters and they support no 3rd party approval for ICE to detain undocumented people.

This means they can spy on Americans, target them, and they can also detain people without checks and balances.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON??CONNECT THE DAMN DOTS!!!
