00:00The violent practices of immigration and costumes enforcement's eyes under the Trump administrations have made in-migration one of the
00:10main debate topics ahead of the midterm elections. Our correspondents and upbrings has the details.
00:17Good afternoon. Thank you. So the U.S. Constitution protects citizens and non-citizens alike, but immigration law allows the
00:27government to bypass some protections that would apply in an ordinary criminal case.
00:33Deportation is treated as a civil matter, for example, so immigrants facing removal have no constitutional right to a government
00:42-appointed lawyer.
00:43ICE recently has also been heavily relying on administrative warrants signed by immigration officials rather than judges.
00:51Those warrants normally do not authorize agents to enter a home without consent, although leaked ICE guidance this year instructed
00:59officers to force entry in some cases, prompting accusations that the agency violated the Fourth Amendment.
01:07Under Trump, enforcement has become increasingly violent. Reuters reports federal immigration agents have shot at least 21 people since he
01:16returned to office, killing seven.
01:19Amnesty International described the killing of Renee Goode and Alex Preddy as extrajudicial executions.
01:27Families and local prosecutors have demanded evidence and criminal accountability from federal authorities.
01:33That is now part of the midterm debate.
01:36A September Fox News poll found 53 percent of registered voters believe Trump's immigration enforcement has gone too far.
01:45Whether Democrats could rewrite immigration law would depend on the Senate.
01:49But control of the House alone would give them powerful tools to investigate ICE, restrict funding, and demand accountability.
01:58Dan Albright, Telesor, Boston. Back to you.
02:02I'm on this side.
02:03We're going to go up a little bit more.
02:03You know, we're going to take a little bit of time with a heart attack on exclusives.
