Blumenthal Asked Why ICE’s Home-Entry Memo Was Secret. Lyons Said It Was “Blasted Out.”

Sen. Richard Blumenthal confronted Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons over an ICE memo that, according to Blumenthal, authorized agents to enter homes using administrative warrants—not warrants signed by an independent judge. Lyons said the policy was tied to final removal orders and denied the memo had been kept secret.

Watch the full exchange, examine the record, and decide for yourself: Should an ICE administrative form ever carry the same force as a judge’s warrant?
