Say No to Warrantless Searches Act

Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Gonzalez, Vicente [D-TX-34]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would require a judicial warrant before federal immigration officers search private property. It limits warrantless entry to narrow exceptions and clarifies the law’s reach.

Show full summary
  • Residents and immigrants: Private homeowners and occupants would be protected from routine immigration searches of their homes or property unless they give consent or officers face exigent circumstances.
  • Federal immigration officers: Officers engaged in immigration enforcement would generally need a judicial warrant to search private property, with consent and exigent circumstances spelled out as exceptions.
  • Legal clarity: The bill says nothing in the new rule can be used to show the Fourth Amendment did not apply to enforcement actions before enactment, and pre-enactment conduct stays governed by existing constitutional protections.
