Legal experts examined the document that reveals the following:
It provides directives to front-line officers apprehending suspected Tren de Aragua members, suggesting officers obtain a warrant of apprehension and removal “as much as practicable.” Those administrative warrants are signed by immigration officers, not judges like criminal warrants.
Due to a “dynamic nature of law enforcement procedures” officers are free to “apprehend aliens” based on their “reasonable belief” they meet the definitions, the memo states.
It purports to grant authority for police to enter a suspected “Alien Enemy’s residence” if “circumstances render it impracticable” to first obtain a warrant.
The memo told law enforcement that immigrants deemed “Alien Enemies” are “not entitled to a hearing, appeal or judicial review.”
