HR 7939

This bill, the Say No to Warrantless Searches Act, aims to strengthen Fourth Amendment protections during immigration enforcement. It specifically modifies a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to require federal law enforcement officers to obtain a judicial warrant before searching private property unless there is lawfully obtained consent or exigent circumstances. The bill also clarifies that existing immigration enforcement activities prior to the bill’s passage are not exempt from Fourth Amendment protections. This legislation seeks to limit the scope of warrantless searches conducted by immigration officials.
