The Say No to Warrantless Searches Act would require federal immigration enforcement officers to obtain a judicial warrant before searching private property during immigration enforcement actions, with narrow exceptions for cases where someone gives permission or urgent circumstances exist. The bill amends federal immigration law to strengthen Fourth Amendment constitutional protections for anyone subject to immigration enforcement, ensuring they have the same warrant protections as the general public. The legislation would apply to all federal law enforcement officers conducting immigration operations and does not create new retroactive liability for past searches conducted before the law takes effect. No specific funding allocation or implementation timeline is included in the bill. This measure addresses concerns about warrantless searches during immigration raids and aims to bring immigration enforcement procedures in line with standard constitutional requirements that apply to other types of law enforcement.
