11. Administrative warrant is not the same as a judicial warrant
Fri Apr 25, 2025, 01:58 PM
Apr 2025

I'm not an attorney/lawyer, but from what I understand, an administrative warrant does not mean you can enter private places or where there is an expectation of privacy, without consent. In other words, ICE could not enter the building without consent. They would need a judicial warrant, which is completely different. So the judge was correct in questioning why they were there, when there was no judicial warrant. Even if they did have a warrant for his arrest, he already was due for a pretrial hearing and the victims were in court, so why do it then? I can understand why the judge would be upset because she wasn't expecting them. But again, was he arrested before this hearing? That's a big question I would ask. He had serious allegations. If he wasn't, that falls on the local/state police.
