    Well, ethical civil disobedience comes with a price. MLK and Gandhi both
  recognized that and did their time for breaking the law in pursuit of their
  higher cause. This judge should be prepared to do the same.

But if she believed the warrant invalid then, civil or uncivil, her
disobedience would be inadvertent.

 She had *no business* checking the warrant in the first place. She has no
jurisdiction over federal immigration law. She's no different than any other
citizen with regard to the ICE arrest. John Doe on the street can't walk up to
an ongoing ICE operation and start demanding to see paperwork and neither can
a state court judge. And if either one of them do so, they can be arrested and
charged with obstruction.

How does that work, then?  Can you be having dinner at home with your wife and, when a knock at the door turns out to be a stranger claiming to have a warrant to take her away, you can't say "Show me"?
