To be fair, the administrative/judicial distinction is most relevant to PRIVATE areas. An ICE administrative warrant would in fact authorize ICE to arrest someone in a public space. ICE does not need a judicial warrant to do that.
Judicial warrants let agents bust down a door. ICE warrants don't.

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant).
She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

PII data, firing federal employees, freezing funding, and God knows what else, and are simultaneously arguing in court that THE PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND UNDER WHAT LEGAL AUTHORITY.
