“Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We’re talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system.”

“Typically, in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we’re talking about getting warrants from those administrative law judges, and then, of course, with other cases you get judges – or you get warrants from a judge. That’s very consistent with the practice of American law.”

“Our understanding is that you can enforce the immigration laws of the country under an administrative order if you have an administrative warrant. That’s our best faith attempt to understand the law.”
