 There must be snowdrifts in hell today. I never thought I'd see the day when
 these activist judges were held to account. So satisfying seeing this judge
 led out of her own courthouse in handcuffs.

 

 The illegal was in state court facing charges for having put his wife in the
 hospital for the second time. Imagine being the victim, sitting in court,
and
 watching the judge in your case help your abuser escape arrest.

 
 He was also charged with battery against the sister (unintentional) and
 another man who was trying to intervene.
 

 Of course, Congressional Democrats who, upon hearing the story, immediately
 proceeded to decry the "increasingly lawless actions" of the Trump
 administration without the slightest hint of irony or hypocrisy. Amy
Klobuchar
 breathlessly declared that this is a "constitutional crisis".

 

 I had no idea the Constitution required us to allow judges to break the law
 and that stopping them from doing so puts the whole system in crisis.

 
 I was going to post about this the other day but I've had a lot of
 trouble finding reporting that went beyond the legal filings. What I get
 is that no one in the courthouse was enthusiastically cooperating with
 ICE. She was told they were coming for him by a court clerk. She
 consulted with the chief judge who didn't want him taken into custody in
 a courtroom but in a public part of the courthouse. She led the man and
 his attorney into a nonpublic hallway used for jurors and defendants in
 custody, I hope not at the same time. They got outside the building. The
 man tried to run but ICE tackled him.
 
 This is all from the court filing. I haven't found any reporting.

 Yeah, there's no CNN reporting here. I even saw a video clip of a woman
 reporting for CNN standing in front of the county courthouse who merely
 repeated all this stuff.
 
 No reporter has interviewed witnesses. This is ridiculous.
 
 I'm truly flabbergasted that the man's own attorney didn't attempt to
 arrange a peaceful surrender, like have his client wait in an interview
 room to be taken into custody.

 
I've been seeing multiple reports from multiple locations that ICE
agents are "staking out" courthouses in plain clothes wearing masks.

Yes, that's called police work. You go where the criminals are. Arresting
people at courthouses for other crimes is a routine and common occurrence. It
only suddenly becomes outrageous for some reason when it's illegal aliens.

It's actually a lot safer for both the cops and the illegals than getting
warrants and kicking in doors to people's homes. And when the state, through
its non-cooperation, forces them to go into neighborhoods looking for these
people, the likelihood that they're going to find *other* illegals not on
their list is very high.

So if you really cared about the safety of the "illegal community" and want to
minimize both the physical danger and the danger of deportations, then
refusing to hand over these scumbags at jails and courthouses and forcing ICE
to go look for them in homes and apartments is the last thing you would do.
