Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Federal agents came to his home and interviewed him for 20 minutes. They said they had been ordered to do so by DHS headquarters.
Thankfully, they seemed to realize how ridiculous the idea was that the man had broken any laws; but still made the absurd suggestion that his rhetoric was inflammatory.

It’s 2029 and Donald Trump died of a heart attack three days before Inauguration Day for an unconstitutional third term. Half of DC’s buildings have been demolished and are being rebuilt as Trump-branded properties. JD Vance, calling himself Donald Trump II, dutifully applies bronzer to his face.
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.
