    This is a nontrivial legal question.

    Of course there needs to be a way for government agents to enforce immigration laws (like all other laws) and also enter private places for that purpose. You don’t have an automatic right to tell them to piss off because you don’t like certain laws being enforced.

    What kind of warrant or situation they need exactly, courts may already have decided, or will still decide. It’s obviously legal for government agents to enter homes with certain warrants, and sometimes without warrants; whether the exact thing the linked article is about will or will not be found constitutional, no one here can ELI5 to you with any certainty.

      You sound like you’re not from the US.

      In the US, it is not a crime to tell police to piss off.

        While true that I am not from the US, I think it was clear from context what I actually meant.
