The Trump megabill could significantly bolster the powers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement by providing extensive funding and new agents for mass deportations across the U.S., not limited to border areas. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court case Case v. Montana may impact constitutional limits on police entry into private homes. This case examines whether law enforcement violated rights when executing a welfare check without a warrant. Montana's argument that entry was justified as aid relies on a vague standard that could lead to unchecked governmental authority, risking individual privacy rights without a defined threshold for intervention.
The Trump megabill poised to pass Congress would turn Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the most powerful federal police force in American history, promising billions in new funding for ICE and a mandate to carry out mass deportations.
Case v. Montana raises questions about the Constitutional limits on police entry into homes, involving a welfare check that turned into an unlawful search without a warrant or emergent circumstances.
Montana argues that the police entry was aid, claiming officers needed only a 'reasonable belief' for entry, challenging current standards around emergency searches.
The proposed legal standard by Montana for entry into homes lacks fixed boundaries or requirements, potentially leading to broader invasions of privacy without sufficient cause.
