This stuff isn't subject to all the procedural crap congress and the courts are.
You know, if I wanted to catch my enemies by surprise, If I was actually serious about doing this sort of thing, I might not want to say HEY WE GOT YOU HERE WE COME before I do.
It would be best to have operation be as big of a surprise as possible. Maybe even do it on a weekend or holiday.
Also, people don't think about it much but the guys making the arrests will be risking their lives and it's a commanders responsibility to minimize that as much as possible. Surprise is a key way to accomplish that.
