The lawsuit follows months of roving patrols in Chicago and Illinois.

Two target areas for the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations announced lawsuits Monday, with one state attorney general admonishing what he called the “unlawful and dangerous tactics” of federal agents.

The courts are going to be so overwhelmed. They’re breaking down people’s doors without Article III warrants.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Newsweek that it was "astounding that the Left can miraculously rediscover the Tenth Amendment when they don’t want federal law enforcement officers to enforce federal law.

    ““The fact is that sanctuary politicians in Illinois and Chicago released violent criminals including murderers, rapists, drug dealers, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists, onto its streets and their dereliction of duty cost lives—just ask Katie Abraham’s father,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on the Illinois suit. "This is a baseless lawsuit, and we look forward to proving that in court.”

    Let’s not pretend the administration actually gives a shit about what the constitution or USC actually says. They repeatedly violate the law and have to be sued to be held accountable.

    Violation the 1st Amendment by firing on Press.

    The DHS was found to be arbitrary and capricious in State of Illinois, et al. v. Kristi Noem as well as exceeded statutory authority and improperly advanced federal policy priorities. i.e. DHS doesn’t want to follow the law it’s supposed to enforce.

    And that’s just DHS in what I can find recently.

    The constitution and USC is a convenience to use when it it suits them, not a standard for all. They think they are Judge Dredd, “I am the law.”

      Its not even the 10th Amendment at issue. The 10th reads:

      The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

      The issue is the 4th Amendment as a whole, which 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.
