What aspects limit the authority of ERO?

The authority of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) is primarily limited by the Constitution, statutes, and regulations. These legal frameworks establish the boundaries within which ERO operates, ensuring that its actions comply with the law and protecting individuals' rights.

The Constitution provides fundamental protections and establishes the rule of law, making any actions taken by ERO subject to constitutional scrutiny. Statutes enact specific laws passed by legislative bodies that further define ERO's powers, authorities, and responsibilities. Regulations are rules made by administrative agencies, which guide how laws are implemented and enforced. Together, these legal elements create a structure that restricts arbitrary use of power by ERO and mandates adherence to established legal procedures.

In contrast, while policies and guidelines might provide direction on operational matters, they do not hold the same legal weight or enforceability as laws and constitutional provisions. Court rulings are indeed influential, but they primarily interpret existing laws rather than being the sole limit on authority. Financial budgets can affect operational scope but do not inherently limit legal authority in the same definitive way as constitutional and statutory laws do.
