Kristi Noem Says ICE Agents ‘Doing Everything Correctly' In Minneapolis
HuffPost
The DHS secretary dismissed the idea that federal immigration agents may be violating the Constitution by asking for people's IDs without reasonable cause.
WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday brushed aside a question about ICE agents potentially, and routinely, violating the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution by approaching people on streets or going to their homes to demand proof of their U.S. citizenship.
During an exchange with reporters at the White House, one reporter asked Noem if she is comfortable with federal immigration agents and officers “violating people’s Fourth Amendment rights by asking for papers without reasonable suspicion.”
“Every single action that our ICE officers take is according to the law and following protocols that we have used for years,” said the DHS secretary. “They are doing everything correctly.”
The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures by the federal government. It reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
