The following excerpt is from B.R. v. Garland, 19-70386 (9th Cir. 2021):
"As a general matter, the Fourth Amendment's exclusionary rule does not apply to immigration proceedings." Perez Cruz v. Barr, 926 F.3d 1128, 1137 (9th Cir. 2019). "There are, however, two critical exceptions to this rule: (1) when the agency violates a regulation promulgated for the benefit of petitioners and that violation prejudices the petitioner's protected interests; and (2) when the agency egregiously violates a petitioner's Fourth Amendment rights." Sanchez, 904 F.3d at 649 (internal citations omitted).
