What is the difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant?

A judicial warrant is a written order, issued by the courts and signed by a judge, that authorizes a law enforcement officer to make an arrest, search, or seizure. The warrant gives law enforcement officers the authority to perform the arrest or search on private property. The subject of the warrant must comply.

An administrative warrant, on the other hand, is a written document issued by a federal agency authorizing a federal law enforcement officer to arrest or seize someone deemed "removable" from the U.S. It is also sometimes called a removal warrant or immigration warrant. It is usually signed by an immigration officer.

Unlike a judicial warrant, an administrative warrant does not give ICE officials the authority to enter private places without consent. In that case, the ICE officer cannot make the arrest unless the person is in a public space.
