Do ICE agents need to show a warrant?
A common question heard in these videos is the request to see a warrant. But do federal agents have to show them that warrant and what are they obligated to do in these incidents?
"Certainly, officers do not need to show a warrant to the public as they are executing that arrest," said Foucart. "When an officer makes an arrest, generally, they aren't going to show that piece of paper to that person that they are arresting."
He said that will come when the situation is safe and an arrest has been made.
"We want to get that person into custody as quickly as possible, and not a threat to you or the public. There's plenty of time to show that person the warrant afterwards," explained Foucart.
These warrants don't come from a judge. They are administrative warrants which come can come from Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
