Factory Raids and the Fourth Amendment: Balancing Law Enforcement and Constitutional Guarantees in

Abstract

The Supreme Court of the United States will soon decide whether Fourth Amendment standards will prohibit certain tactics used in the enforcement of immigration laws by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. This Comment will argue that the tactics in question cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny; to uphold these tactics would simply deny well-entrenched precedent and run afoul of public policy. If the Court affirms the lower court's decision, factory workforces will be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures.
