Summary

This bill, known as the "Say No to Warrantless Searches Act," aims to strengthen Fourth Amendment protections during immigration enforcement activities. It amends Section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to specifically require federal law enforcement officers to obtain a judicial warrant before conducting a search of private property. The legislation outlines two key exceptions to this warrant requirement: when there is lawfully obtained consent from the property owner or in cases of exigent circumstances . Furthermore, the bill clarifies that its provisions do not imply that Fourth Amendment protections were absent for enforcement activities conducted prior to its enactment.
