Tell them:

One nice thing about being a free person, or the operator of a free press, is you don’t have to consult—much less “obey”—a goddam book of presidential proclamations to learn what words, geographic or otherwise, are permissible to use. Any government encroachment on that freedom ought to be fought.
The White House said it will bar the Associated Press from future events in the Oval Office and Air Force One, over the AP's refusal to obey Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
