>A deportation order is a final judgment from immigration authorities that a non-citizen must leave the U.S., while a warrant is a legal document that authorizes an action, such as an arrest or search.

Ok? They lack those in almost all cases too.

>You don't get arrest warrants for deportation orders. The "due process" for illegal entry is deportation... if people don't like it, don't enter the country illegally.

That's a gross oversimplification and completely dishonest.

>Why are you lying about needing an arrest warrant?

I am not. Never claimed arrest warrants are needed. ICE agents almost always lack a deportation order or arrest warrant. Almost all their 'detentions' lack any sort of order, their "probable cause" is arbitrarily believing people they see are illegal.

This is what happens in a vast majority of cases:

ICE detains a rando they think is an illegal -> They quickly find out they have a perfectly valid visa -> ICE immediately petitions for an immigration judge to revoke the visa for no reason -> the military judge appointed to be an immigration judge obliges and gives the visa-holder zero ability to appeal -> the visa-holder is now suddenly an illegal despite having a valid visa at the time of their detention and having committed no crime -> deported
