This has to be issued by a special FISA court which oversees requests for surveillance warrants against foreign spies inside the U.S.
No-knock warrant. In the United States, a no-knock warrant is a warrant issued by a judge that allows law enforcement officers to enter a property without immediate prior notification of the residents, such as by knocking or ringing a doorbell.
FISA COURT...
The United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC, also called the FISA Court) is a U.S. federal court established and authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) to oversee requests for surveillance warrants against foreign spies inside the United States by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Such requests are made most often by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Congress created FISA and its court as a result of the recommendations by the U.S. Senate's Church Committee.[1] Its powers have evolved to the point that it has been called "almost a parallel Supreme Court".[2]

deplorables, they would find him and kill him.
There are two sets of rules in America.

The FISA warrant goes back to before the election. It predates Mueller.

... to get a "no knock warrant" the prosecutor has to convince a judge that the subject of the warrant is likely to destroy evidence.
