Pelosi: Don't open door to ICE agents

Undocumented immigrants don’t have to open the door to immigration agents, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

The California Democrat made the declaration Thursday ahead of weekend raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents who are planning to round up illegal immigrants with deportation orders issued by immigration judges.

“An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant,” Pelosi said, reading from a card she earlier recited to concerned illegal immigrants at events around the country. “If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, ICE does not have a legal right to enter a home.”

Pelosi said if ICE lacks a warrant, “a person may refuse to open a door and let them in.”

President Trump announced the deportations would begin Sunday and would target those with deportation orders. Trump had postponed the raid for two weeks and urged Congress to come up with reforms to U.S. asylum laws that are prompting mass illegal immigration from Central America.

Pelosi said she might be open to changes that would allow asylum seekers to request U.S. asylum in their home countries.

In the meantime, she urged Trump to call off the “heartless” raids, warning it was upsetting his Evangelical base.

“These raids were not what they signed up for with President Trump,” Pelosi said.

I find it strange that a top politician would be helping those to denying the courts
