Law-breaking memo Trump administration allegedly sent to immigration agents amid deportations to 'world's worst prison'

As the Trump administration continues to clamp down on immigration, Pam Bondi has seemingly made some changes to how officers apprehend so-called 'alien enemies'.

Last month, dozens of immigrants in the US were deported to an El Salvador mega-jail as part of the 'Alien Enemies Act 1978'.

The 18th-century legislation was created in response to spying and sabotage during tensions with France at the time. But Trump is now using it to deport non-US citizens who have been accused of being gang members without any court hearings taking place.

The administration is looking to remove Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members from America in particular, and Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly released a memo in March that outlined policies that makes it easier for Immigration and Customers Enforcement officers (ICE) to remove those they suspect to 'alien enemies' that fall in this bracket.

In the documentation obtained by USA Today, Bondi issued directives that allows ICE officers from entering someone's home without a judicial warrant if getting one proves 'not realistic'.

The doc reads: "As much as practicable, officers should follow the proactive procedures above-and have an executed Warrant of Apprehension and Removal-before contacting an Alien Enemy.

"However, that will not always be realistic or effective in swiftly identifying and removing Alien Enemies. For example, consistent with the law, officers may need to contact a suspected Alien Enemy to develop further facts or otherwise confirm any of the four requirements for validation as an Alien Enemy.

"Or an officer may encounter a suspected Alien Enemy in the natural course of the officer's enforcement activity, such as when apprehending other validated members of Tren de Aragua."

It goes on: "Given the dynamic nature of enforcement operations, officers in the field are authorized to apprehend aliens upon a reasonable belief that the alien meets all four requirements to be validated as an Alien Enemy.

"This authority includes entering an Alien Enemy's residence to make an AEA apprehension where circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a signed Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal (Form AEA-21B)."

This goes against the country's current laws. The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures, including in their homes. This generally means that law enforcement officers need a warrant, which is a legal document issued by a judge, to enter a person's home.

With this in mind, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) states on its website that an immigrants 'do not have to consent to a search of yourself or your belongings'.

It does note, however, that ICE officers have the right to pat down a person if they suspect they may be armed.
