Media Miss by the right: ICE memo broadens warrantless arrest authority

A newly issued ICE memo broadens the circumstances under which agents can make warrantless arrests, allowing officers greater discretion to argue that seeking a warrant could give a suspect time to flee.

The guidance also expands agents’ ability to carry out so-called “collateral arrests,” permitting them to detain unauthorized immigrants encountered during operations, even if those individuals were not the original target.

Media Miss by the left: Walz, Ellison to testify on Minnesota fraud allegations in March

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on March 4.

Committee Chair James Comer says lawmakers will press them about allegations of widespread fraud in the state’s social services programs.

The committee has already heard testimony from state lawmakers who claim the Walz administration failed to act on warning signs and retaliated against whistleblowers who raised concerns.
