"Mass deportation efforts under President Donald Trump are growing in scale and frequency. These campaigns create new safety risks for immigrants and non-immigrants alike - especially as encounters with federal agents have proven deadly. Federal agents shot and killed Keith Porter Jr. in Los Angeles on December 31, and Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7. Over the weekend, a Border Patrol agent killed intensive care nurse Alex Pretti just miles from the site of Good's killing."
"Law enforcement cannot enter private homes freely. To enter a private residence, the Supreme Court generally holds that officials must receive a warrant signed by a judge or permission from someone who lives there. That means residents are not legally obliged to let immigration agents in who knock on their door. Agents need a reason to arrest or detain you. Officers can ask you questions, but detaining you requires reasonable suspicion you have committed a crime."

Federal agents shot and killed Keith Porter Jr. in Los Angeles on December 31 and Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7; a Border Patrol agent killed intensive care nurse Alex Pretti near the Minneapolis site. Roughly 70,000 people face active detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. citizens retain Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure, including limits on warrantless home entry and requirements of reasonable suspicion to detain and probable cause to arrest.
