Madison, Wisconsin - Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) in an interview with WISN UPFRONT responded to allegations raised by 41 MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again) Republicans in the State Assembly in a joint statement for Governor Evers to recind his recent guidedance to state officials and employees, which instructs them to have an attorney present when confronting MAGA Gestapo Style U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) agents with a USICE administrative warrant signed by a agent or a judicial warrant signed by a federal judge.
Evers called his guidance to state employees, a right thing to do, which would prevent USICE agents from overreach and go beyond the scope of the warrant presented. Most state agencies do have an attorney present and these attorneys would make sure that USICE agents don't go beyond what a judicial warrant requires to take (confiscate) as evidence or private data during an investigation.
A USICE administrative warrant signed by a agent, is not legal binding to execute at private property, and it does not allow arrests inside buildings, and to seize property or conduct searches. A judicial warrant signed by a federal judge allows for the arrest of any individual named in a warrant at private property, seize evidence and conduct searches for what the warrant only requires.
According to the MAGA Republicans in the State Assembly, it seems they rather have state officials (employees) comply with USICE administrative warrants without question, which is ludicrous, and most likely non-legal binding, instead of making sure state employees are protected from USICE agents overreach of authority executing fake USICE administrative warrants at state government agencies.
Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) also posted in his Facebook personal account calling on state employees to "disregard information provided" by Governor Evers guidedance and implying for employees to allow USICE agents execute warrants without question.
Both the MAGA Republicans and former Governor Walker alleged that Governor Evers was breaking the law by refusing USICE agents access to state confidential and private data including information. Governor Evers in response said, "that's crap...we're not encouraging them (state employees) to break the law." Gov.

Also, Wisconsin State Attorney General Josh Kaul backed Governor Evers guidedance to state employees and says it is a reasonably thing to do for state agencies to have their attorneys present and involved in the process to make sure things are done lawfully and the rights of state citizens are protected because state government has a lot of confidential and private information about its citizens and that's just common sense when USICE comes around.
