So, you know, a business owner can restrict entry onto their premises.
So some businesses post signs, you know, ICE officers aren't allowed in with an administrative warrant rather than a judicial warrant.
You know, we have also seen ICE just frankly overpower, you know, individuals and barge in, you know, without warrants and whatnot.
But that's not to say, you know, business owners can't at least, you know, say this is the policy, you know, we're not allowing you in without some sort of judicial warrant.
And slowing it down is hugely helpful.
And then they can also refuse service to ICE officers, right?
You know, that also, you know, is going to minimize traffic in the store.
And so that, you know, it's something else that they can do.
So that too, right, isn't, you know, meaningless, you know, just saying like to make their lives more unpleasant.
