Warrantless Home Invasions
How the Justice Department’s Alien Enemies Act memo threatens American liberties and plunges us further into Constitutional Crisis
In March 2025, a Department of Justice memorandum quietly authorized one of the most significant Constitutional breaches in modern American history. Obtained through a public records request by the organization Property of the People, the memo by Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed the extent to which the current administration believes it can operate outside the bounds of Constitutional protections — for now, under the guise of immigration enforcement.
This Changes Everything
According to the document, dated March 14, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed federal law enforcement officers that they need neither judicial approval nor administrative warrants to enter homes and apprehend individuals suspected of being members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA), recently designated as “alien enemies” under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The memo states explicitly: “This authority includes entering an Alien Enemy’s residence to make an AEA apprehension where circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a signed Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal.”
