“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes,”* Rule of Lawless Dept. 0
Via The Seattle Times, Amanda Cats-Baril hears a rhyme from colonial times. Here’s how her article begins (emphasis added):
That struggle over arbitrary warrants is no longer a historical footnote, now that the federal government is reviving the very practice Otis condemned. An internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo dated May 12, 2025, authorizes agents to enter homes solely on the basis of an “administrative warrant,” without prior judicial approval.
