Judge spanks DHS for sending officers to illegal immigrants’ homes

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents knock at a residence after an arrest of an immigrant during an early morning raid in Duarte, Calif., Monday, June 6, 2022. This weekend, the Biden administration said it would suspend an order prioritizing the arrest and deportation of immigrants considered a threat to public safety and national security in order to comply with a ruling earlier in June 2022, from a Texas judge. Many otherwise law-abiding immigrants living here illegally will now be afraid to leave their homes out of concern they'll be detained. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
