'They Have No Warrant': Native American Homeowner Refuses to Surrender DoorDash Driver to ICE Agents

A Minnesota homeowner refused to surrender a DoorDash driver to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on 8 January 2026, after the woman allegedly ran into the house while being pursued. The confrontation, recorded and shared by TikTok creator StormiBabyy27, later attracted millions of views.

According to Stormi, she and her family had ordered food when the driver suddenly entered their home. ICE agents allegedly remained outside and demanded that the woman come out. A baby was also inside the property, she said.

The incident was reported as having taken place on 8 January. The driver's identity, immigration status, current whereabouts and the reason ICE was pursuing her have not been independently established.

DoorDash Driver Runs Inside as ICE Agents Wait

According to Stormi, the incident began as a routine DoorDash delivery. She said the driver ran into the house seeking protection from agents who were following her.

'I literally ordered DoorDash, and now there's ICE agents around my house because the lady ran in my house,' Stormi said in the video. 'And now I don't know what to do because ... they have no warrant. They said they were gonna get one.'

Stormi insisted that the agents could not enter without a warrant signed by a judge. She also said they were 'looking at everything' from outside the property and alleged that there were 'guns pointing everywhere.'

That description has not been independently verified. Stormi said one agent kept a hand near a gun while the family remained inside.

At one point, she showed the woman's identification through a window. Stormi said the document appeared to show that the driver was a US citizen. The identification itself is not visible in the available footage, and the driver's citizenship has not been independently confirmed.

The homeowner also identified herself as Native American while challenging the agents' presence.

'I'm Native American. My f**king family already died for you all to work here,' she shouted, according to the video.

Stormi said her family called 911 during the confrontation. She claimed someone on the call told them to release the driver because they could potentially face a harbouring allegation.

The claim about the 911 call, including whether police attended or gave that advice, has not been independently verified. Nor does the footage establish what documents or authority the ICE agents possessed.

The agents ultimately left without detaining the driver, according to Stormi and accounts of the footage. The confrontation lasted about 14 minutes, according to reporting about the video.

What the ICE Warrant Dispute Actually Means

The legal question is more complicated than the demand to 'get off my yard'.

Congressional Research Service guidance explains that immigration authorities generally cannot enter a private home without consent or an applicable exception, such as exigent circumstances. It also distinguishes between judicial warrants, issued by a court, and administrative immigration warrants issued within the immigration system.

Administrative warrants generally do not, by themselves, authorise immigration officers to enter a private home. However, warrantless entry can be permitted in limited circumstances, including exigent circumstances.

The Supreme Court's decision in Steagald v. United States also established that an arrest warrant for a person does not automatically authorise officers to enter a third party's home to find that person, subject to recognised exceptions such as consent and exigent circumstances.

That does not determine whether the ICE agents acted lawfully in Minnesota. The video does not show whether they had an administrative or judicial warrant, whether they claimed an emergency, or whether they had grounds to believe the driver was inside.

Federal law also prohibits knowingly concealing, harbouring or shielding certain noncitizens from detection. The circumstances in which that law applies are fact-specific.

Refusing warrantless entry does not, by itself, establish that an offence occurred.

Stormi's videos had amassed more than 29.5 million views across 10 posts by September, according to The Mary Sue. The scale of the response reflects the footage's central tension.

It shows a private family home becoming the setting for a disputed immigration encounter, while the key facts remain largely based on one person's account.

Viewers praised Stormi for sheltering the driver. One commenter wrote, 'SHOUT OUT TO @Stormibabyy27 MAY THE LORD HELP YOU AND GUIDE YOU.' Another asked why ICE would pursue someone who appeared to be working, adding, 'I hope that woman is safe!!!!'

A separate commenter described the footage as a lesson in constitutional rights. 'This video demonstrates the power and importance of understanding your rights under the law. Powerful,' they wrote.

Stormi later said the driver was safe and had not been taken into custody. That account has not been independently verified, although available reporting says the agents left without the woman.

The available evidence does not independently establish the driver's identity or citizenship, why ICE pursued her, what documents the agents held, what happened during the 911 call or what became of her afterwards.

It does show a DoorDash delivery that ended with a stranger inside a family home, federal agents outside and a dispute over how far immigration enforcement can reach.
