Reagan policy reopens warrantless searches in US
The Reagan administration reverses Carter policy by not seeking court warrants before intelligence searches of property and offices controlled by foreign agents in the United States. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approved three warrants last year, says it has no authority to issue physical-search warrants. The shift aims to clarify procedures while preserving civil liberties and Fourth Amendment protections. The move sparks debate on legality and constitutional safeguards, with the ACLU warning the issue remains unsettled. The secret ruling was issued June 11.
