Federal immigration agents raided a Cayuga County nutrition bar factory in September. The agents — heavily armed, some wearing masks — rounded up all kinds of people using a warrant that did not name or describe any individual person to be searched or authorized to be seized.

Our Constitution’s Fourth Amendment requires probable cause for a warrant and is supposed to protect residents of this country, citizens and noncitizens alike, from unreasonable search and seizure.
