Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Arresting judges is a good thing as judges aren't above the law. In a healthy, democracy an AG wouldn't be threatening judges with arrest, any investigation would be carried out in a proper manner, and there would be public hearings about everything. Politicans would wisely say "No comment" on any investigation.
In this case, the whole thing was engireed to send a message to the judicary "Play ball with us, or you're going to get arrested".
ICE had the ability to calmly walk into the court room, ID whoever they needed, wait until everything was done, and arrested the person out in the hall. Instead ICE went in and made a scene about it, to either force Judge Hannah Dugan to capitulate to ICE or to set up a situation where ICE could trump up obstruction charges.
Now, you have a facist AG openly saying:
Almost guaranteed that the defintion of obstruction is going to be streched to cover judges denying deportations to the El Salvadoran concentration camps.
ICE made a scene in the courtroom?
My understanding is that the judge was arrested for allowing the defendant to leave the courtroom through a back door after ICE entered the courtroom and attempted to detain the person.
A person who was literally in court on their assigned court date in order to attempt to follow the correct immigration procedures.
Yes, but we need to be very careful here. Histronics are all fine and well. However, knowing all the facts as reported by the AP or Reuters is important.
The rank and file of the far right is going to be fed info about how he was arrested for domestic violence and had already been deported before.
ICE wasn't in the courtroom and didn't cause a scene. The judge was tipped off by a clerk that they were in the building.
We're all very aware of the propaganda the right is fed. We need to know the facts so it doesn't happen to us.
I'm not sure there is enough of a distinction between in the court building, and in the actual courtroom, to make any difference here... but sure. Point taken.
