Subject: EMAIL BALLOT 20260120-2 ICE Resolution

We have an LNC email ballot.  Votes are due to the LNC List on this email thread by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on January 27th, 2026.

Resolution: 

Resolution Condemning Fourth Amendment Violations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Other Law Enforcement Agencies

WHEREAS, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and establishes that no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized; and  

WHEREAS, this protection is a cornerstone of individual liberty and a fundamental limit on government power, applicable to all law enforcement activities without exception; and  

WHEREAS, recent reports indicate repeated instances of excessive force and constitutional overreach by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, including warrantless searches, seizures without due process, and detentions based on suspicion rather than probable cause; and  

WHEREAS, such practices—whether in immigration enforcement, routine policing, or other operations—erode public trust, infringe upon natural rights, and contradict the principles of limited government that the Libertarian Party upholds; and  

WHEREAS, no government agency, regardless of its mission, is above the Constitution or the Bill of Rights;  

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee condemns all violations of the Fourth Amendment by ICE and other law enforcement agencies; and  

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee urges ICE leadership, local police chiefs, and all law enforcement officials to immediately recommit to strict compliance with Fourth Amendment protections in the discharge of their duties, including:  

1. Requiring judicial warrants for searches and seizures except in genuine exigent circumstances;  

2. Ending the use of civil or administrative pretexts to justify warrantless intrusions;  

3. Ensuring rigorous training on constitutional limits and accountability for officers who violate them; and  

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls upon all Americans to defend these essential rights and hold government officials accountable when they fail to uphold the Constitution.

Co-Sponsors:  Bost - Bohler, Thompson, Darr
