This slide presentation from ACLU Minnesota covers that, as well as other essential know-your-rights information. Share it around with those who may need it.
Also, know your damn rights. Notice that they didn’t leave until she specifically said that they did not have permission to be on her property.
Law enforcement is considered to have implicit permission to come to your house, provided you have a route of access that is publicly accessible, like a sidewalk or a driveway (that isn’t gated). But that implicit permission is overridden if you explicitly withdraw permission. It’s good that they knew not to let them in without a warrant (though they didn’t have to open the door, or even answer it), but you also need to say “You do not have permission to be on my property.” No matter how much you cuss them out, if you don’t say it, it doesn’t count.
There is an exception for cases of “hot pursuit,” like if they see somebody kill someone and run into a house, they don’t need a warrant. But there’s a lot of restrictions on that and they’re probably not going to bother trying to get your consent in the first place if they have that.
Obviously that only goes as far as the law applies. Unrelated, but another right you should know is the right to bear arms.
They can’t do anything if you stand your ground like these people
No, they still can. It’s not legal (for whatever that’s worth these days), but they can absolutely just bust down your door anyway. We need to start treating them like they lawless criminals they are.
The system will not save you, at least not immediately. You might get let go later, after they’ve sufficiently punished your resistance, but that’s it.
This made me physically ill watching. This also proves 2 things.
First, don’t let these fuckers on your property without a signed warrant. They can’t do anything if you stand your ground like these people.
2nd, the police will not protect you. Even the cops on the phone told them just hand her over.
Stand your ground, ask for a signed warrant and don’t listen to their fake ass threats of harboring.
How the hell do you even verify a warrant? I still wouldn’t consent to a search. I wouldn’t resist, sure, but I ain’t opening the door.

Short version: make sure it’s from a US District Court and signed by a judge, not an immigration officer.
