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. The warrant they used was one that typically gives the government power to search business records and computers, not people. 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.
