ICE ordered to stop knock-and-talk tactics for immigration arrests

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) suffered a legal blow recently after a federal judge ruled the agency's so-called "knock-and-talk" tactics, which involve engaging illegal immigrants and other migrants subject to arrest, to be unconstitutional.

California U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II, a President George W. Bush appointee, issued a motion for summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs last week in a class action lawsuit brought against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in his official capacity.
