Under the 4th Amendment, your home cannot be entered by the government without a warrant.* A warrant must contain:
- Be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate
- Identify a specific place to be searched
- Specifically identify who/what you are looking for
- Contain an affidavit/sworn statement to support probable cause
This is an administrative warrant from ICE and I-205

The first three categories are not actual judges. They are bureaucrats hired by the Department of Homeland Security and work for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). They handle all of these hearings and are considered "Article II Judges" meaning they are not what we normally consider to be a judge.
The last box for a Federal Judge or Magistrate is the only person who can issue a legitimate warrant. This form does not meet the requirements of a warrant that would allow you to enter someone's home.
*There are exigent circumstances but that's not what we're discussing right now.
