The ruling in federal court in Minnesota lands as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces scrutiny over an internal memo claiming judge-signed warrants aren’t needed to enter homes without consent.

A federal judge in Minnesota ruled last Saturday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated the Fourth Amendment after they forcibly entered a Minnesota man’s home without a judicial warrant.

The conduct of the agents closely mirrors a previously undisclosed ICE directive that claims agents are permitted to enter people’s homes using an administrative warrant, rather than a warrant signed by a judge.

The ruling, issued by US District Court judge Jeffrey Bryan in response to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on January 17, did not assess the legality of ICE’s internal guidance itself. But it squarely holds that federal agents violated the United States Constitution when they entered a residence without consent and without a judge-signed warrant—the same conditions ICE leadership has privately told officers is sufficient for home arrests, according to a complaint filed by Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit legal group representing whistleblowers from the public and private sector.

    Very good game and game modding scene is through the roof with custom levels, characters, and music. Give it a go.

    Also the dev team released a teaser trailer for the sequel that is in development. Team Reptile on Youtube. Absolute mad lads did a spiritual successor and now they are doing it again.

    Their prior games got same style too

        Good luck on your adventure!! You will enjoy BRC and way more so the modding scene. PLUS the modding scene is multiplayer supported with up to 32-64 players at once. Play as Sonic/Mario/JSRF characters/etc/make your own character model. So much to do in it!!!

        Also since I’m feeling extra giving check out Resonite on steam too playable in vr (Save for Steam Frame) and non-vr (Plays well even in non-vr, and very buttery on older hardware they are tech wizs). Its open source community-run and free game and game engine (optional paid storage to have more virtual storage space in-game). BRC and Resonite Youtube/Discord communities are popping off. Especially with all they are making in Resonite with all the systems in place for Awwdio (Audio), SFX, their programming language, and bunch of other things in dev. You can create/code/design/make assets/worlds/minigames/tools/etc within the game via the game engine within having to open a window or break the flow of the game. Really cool what Frooxius is doing with his team overall and what Molly is building with her Metaverse Academy

        Confidently saying this is what will bring us Ready Player One minus all the negatives
