Claim Details

The Department of Homeland Security argues that it doesn't need a warrant to enter construction sites, challenging Fourth Amendment rights for construction workers. The case stems from immigration raids and detentions of workers, including a U.S. citizen. The Institute for Justice is representing the worker, arguing for Fourth Amendment protections.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked warrantless immigration raids on construction sites in southern Alabama. This ruling comes after a U.S. citizen was detained three times by ICE, despite presenting valid identification.
