There was a recent secret internal ICE memo stating that they determined they were free to essentially engage in unconstitutional home invasions[1]. If they decided to batter down the doors at Google there is nothing stopping them.

The only thing keeping them in check is the courts, and that practically operates in geologic timeframes compared to the rate they are breaking laws.

That’s where they will use an “administrative warrant” to arrest someone with a final order of removal.

So not citizens’ houses but one where someone is in the country illegally with a final order of removal.
