            As he was merely accused, any "shoulds" are all in one's
 biases.  I.e.,
            he's entitled to the same "help" as an innocent you would be.

           
            I wouldn't be entitled to a judge running cover for me while she
        directs me
          to
            a back door to evade the cops, either.

 
          *If* she thought you were illegally pursued, it'd be her *duty*.

         
          No, it wouldn't.

 
        Sure it would, if not legally then ethically.

       
        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"?

 
 You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to
show *her*
 and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the
arrest, but you
 don't have any legal standing to demand it.
 
 And this is just a state court judge in the lobby of a courthouse, not some
 family member in their own home, so whatever standing the husband in your
 scenario may have, it certainly wouldn't apply to Judge Busybody.

 
 So, "at some point" would seem to mean 'whenever we feel like it'.
 Thus, if some random guys show up claiming to have a warrant ("back at
 the station") for your arrest, you'd better simply let them spirit you
 away while try to assure yourself they're not actually kidnappers...
 

 
 She's a judge.  She should know she has no authority in this matter.
 Ridiculous how you continue to defend an obviously illegal act on the
 judge's part.

 
 She's saying the warrant was improper, and her act thus not illegal.

 
 So now you ARE saying she issued a ruling?
 
 Make up your mind dude.
 
 She either issued a formal ruling that the warrant was "improper"
 
 OR
 
 She made up her own interpretation without authority and then acted
 illegally  based on her unauthorized interpretation.
 
 Which is it?

 
 She (is saying) she believed the warrant invalid, not declaring it so.

 
 You are attempting to draw a distinction with no difference.  You
 think that, because she's a judge, she can disregard a legal warrant
 based solely on her personal opinion of it.

 
Again... she allegedly believed the warrant invalid, not as a matter of
"personal opinion" but as one of fact.

Again, her personal belief is of no more consequence than any other random
person on the street. This wasn't occurring in her courtroom and was not
within her jurisdiction as a judge.

If some random citizen walked up to ICE agents in the middle of an operation
in their neighborhood and demanded to see the warrant (and assuming they
showed it to humor him), his opinion that it isn't valid would make absolutely
no difference and have no relevance to ICE's actions. They'd just say "Okay,
buddy, whatever. Now go away or you'll be arrested for obstruction and
interference."

This judge is just a random citizen with regard to a federal ICE operation.
Her status as a state court judge gives her no special authority or
jurisdiction to declare warrants valid or invalid and have that somehow affect
what ICE is doing. They are free to completely ignore her, just as they would
that guy I described above and if she takes further action to frustrate or
impede their operation, she goes to jail.
