California-based federal judge ruled that the way Immigration and Customs Enforcement executes "knock and talks" – by walking up to the door of a home to speak with an occupant and carry out civil immigration arrests – is unconstitutional.
California Central District Judge Otis D. Wright II, an appointee of President George W. Bush, ruled last week that the practice of entering the area around a home for the purpose of arresting an occupant without a specific warrant or express consent through "knock and talks" violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
