Arrest of judge backfires

[struggle4progress]

Popok explains that Judge Dugan was right to not allow Federal ICE officers to use an "administrative warrant" to arrest someone in her courtroom or just outside to remove and deport him, and why her arrest on a "criminal complaint" is just show theater for the Trump Administration trying to intimidate the Democrats and the judiciary.

2. Those idiot Justices on the SC that ruled that Been A Dick Donald has almost absolute immunity

should take note that now this criminal org. are arresting Judges, which should put the fear of god into them as it can now happen to them with that ridiculous ruling.

did they think was going to happen?

9. I'm so pissed at what they did! No other person would have gotten

IMMUNITY from any Supreme court except THIS supreme court AND THIS president!! I say to BOTH of them.

23. We had the power to neutralize the corrupt six on this Supreme Court between 2020 and 2022

but old line Democrats who wanted to stick to party tradition wouldn't take the steps necessary to get it done. Now we have this.

It's been described as bringing a knife to a gun fight.

7. I agree with you

You should take the flames. You deserve all of them

[ForgedCrank]

11. Id rather

be on fire than agree with disinformation. But then again, I have solid convictions that aren't subject to modification when the wind direction changes.

[SurfLiberal]

22. You appear to be on fire...

WITH disinformation. So congrats, you're halfway there...

[Cirsium]

29. What disinformation?

What is the disinformation are talking about?

[Quiet Em]

12. They did not even have the proper warrant.

The judge did nothing wrong.

The con and his goons are trying to destroy due process and our Constitution.

It's scary that there are people who don't seem to understand how close to fascism this stunt was.

8. i don't understand why arresting the guy outside after the

hearing would solve the problem. They are still using the existence of the court hearing to arrest the guy, this will still drive the immigrant community underground.

This is not just for fairness to the man involved, but the woman also who might make different decisions about asking for a justice and protection if she knows a hearing means causing him to be apprehended by ICE. Given the possibility of it resulting in life in an El Salvadoran gulag.

10. Attoroneys ought to be working full-time now on finding State charges to book the entire Trump regime

charges that Trump will not be able to PARDON. Every time one of those GOP fuckers commits a felonious act in any state, an AG ought to press charges.

[groundloop]

14. I'll believe it backfired after all charges are dropped, not simply because youtube says so.

[Tickle]

24. Can you provide a link

I've been googling and I am getting different information

19. One would think the "perp"

Was guilty of mass murder or child abuse.
None of this is done to make us safe.
Hell, if I was afraid of Latinos, I wouldn't live next to Pacoima and San Fernando.
I being white and am definitely in the minority.
So what?
Chump's immigration crimes are just a cover for draining the treasury.
All the new gold in the WH chump says is real solid gold? Check Ft. Knox!

20. The brazenness of it is infuriating.

[Warpy]

21. Shit, that's all those Gestapo fuckwits got?

They've been escorted out of courtrooms here in NM by big, burly bailiffs for a couple of decades and told they could pounce outside if they had to be assholes but their presence inside the courts would not be tolerated. They could do their fishing elsewhere, like the actual border.

(Yes, the jails do notify them when an undocumented person is going to be released so they can do a pickup. Undcumented aliens who FA, FO pretty quickly.

28. Backfires?

How did it "backfire?"

[tornado34jh]

30. I feel like a broken record saying this, but it has to be said once again

They did not have a judicial warrant. An administrative warrant does not mean you can enter a private place without consent. Let me be clear, it appears that the person in question, Eduardo Flores-Luiz, was due for a pre-trial hearing that morning, the families of the victims were in the courtroom. From what I understand, it appears he did not have the hearing. He was facing serious charges. I have not found anything that suggests to me that he was arrested or in jail prior to this, unless somebody has proof to say otherwise. If that is the case, then that is the fault of the local/state police, because I find it very hard for me to believe that for someone facing serious charges would not be arrested and in jail, unless he was arrested and then he posted bail, which from what I understand, it didn't appear so.

Also, if they were going to arrest Flores-Luiz, why didn't they tell whoever runs the courtroom building in advance? What I mean is, why didn't they tell the chief judge or whoever does the rounds in the courtroom in advance? If the affidavit is true, and that his charges were of public record, are you telling me that the FBI/ICE didn't bother to find out when his hearing was due? Sounds to me like ICE/FBI is mad that they were embarrassed because they thought an administrative warrant meant they could just go a courtroom and arrest somebody without a judicial warrant. I have never been in a courtroom, so I can't speak for myself, but I would imagine that judges, especially these days, have a lot of people they have to see in the docket over the course of a day, never mind in a week. But again, I am skeptical of believing anything this corrupt FBI/ICE are saying.

31. This is a bridge too far.

Congress needs to get their heads out of their butts and begin public hearings.
