The FBI has *ARRESTED* a sitting judge in Milwaukee, over allegations it obstructed immigration enforcement.

“After DEA Agent A notified the team that Flores-Ruiz was in the front of the courthouse near the flagpole, the agents ran towards the front of the courthouse. FBI Agent B and DEA Agent A approached Flores-Ruiz and identified themselves as law enforcement. Flores-Ruiz turned around and sprinted down the street.”

This suggests to me that the judge did not tell him ICE was there for him. If he knew that, why would he not have immediately fled the minute he stepped out of the courthouse? Why would he stand in front of the courthouse when he knew ICE was there and only flee after he saw several men running in his direction?

The affidavit also says the judge asked whether it was a judicial or administrative warrant, which I think she did because she wanted to preserve the integrity of her courtroom. She wanted to know what they were allowed to do and sent them to the chief judge to make sure they were following policy. She went back to her courtroom because she had cases to hear. My guess is she told the guy and his lawyer that she was continuing his case because she didn’t want a circus outside her courtroom that would discourage undocumented individuals from appearing in court for fear of ICE.

And my only aim is to defend the rule of law. Without that, we have nothing and are all at risk.

You're not making any sense. Read the bolded. She didn't tip him off but also continued his case and allowed him to leave through a non public door?

He has been deported previously and was at the courthouse because he punched a woman in the face and fought his roommate. You say you want to defend the rule of law, well what about immigration law that directed his deportation 10+years ago? He should have been picked up and charged with the federal crime of illegal re-entry. Arresting him in a public courthouse is acceptable no matter what type of warrant they had.

BTW, getting arrested in the court house is not unusual. If a suspect has an appointment with the court, a lawyer, you know he might be there. I knew a friend whose ex husband had her arrested (detained actually, not fully arrested) in front of the court house for violating a civil protective order. During her divorce. They had probably 5 million in assets together. They released her shortly thereafter. But it was messy. The more you know the less crazy these things sound!

What we are actually witnessing is policing. Policing everywhere.

The judge was shady and will now have a hearing. I doubt they held her long. It’s rough, but the feds are making her an example by charging her. People are shocked bc they never see policing in their tender neighborhoods. These police actions are actually helping low income people who suffer the most from criminal actions in their neighborhoods. Ask the neighbors how they feel. The rich people are sad when they read about it in their sunlit kitchens. Just another angle. Wealthy people don’t usually feel the impact of crime or resource pressures bc their kids go to private school and their neighborhoods are isolated.

No, but a bunch of low information voters did that. They are clearly still here and haven’t learned a thing.

Well, you’ll have to make concessions then. You are not going to educate anyone in 1,300 days. How about you sound more reasonable to millions of people? Drop issues, applaud the good in others. Change is hard. But it’s necessary. You’re not bringing them to “your side.”

For all the lefties out there, that judge probably sent hundreds of poor boys to jail and then left her chambers by five pm everyday to catch up with her friends. You think she cares? Let’s look at her track record.

She knows exactly what she is doing.

The bleeding hearts need to know how nasty some judges can be. She made a mistake. She is not immune from consequences.

And if ICE had stopped him IN FRONT OF the courthouse with their administrative warrant, there wouldn't have been an issue. But they ENTERED the courthouse with the wrong paperwork, then had a hissy fit

In a COURT HOUSE, not a COURT ROOM. That is the difference. She didn't want the circus in HER COURT ROOM.

Are you directing this at "lefties" to be divisive? If she is a judge and upholding the law as she is charged to do, then what is the issue you are trying to make?

They didn't charge her, someone issued an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. There was no grand jury. This is all performative.

This action points to a "criminal complaint" that's not designed to have the charges stick.

Instead, DOJ's actions look designed to create a (false) public narrative about judges.

and people on this forum don't get it....performative indeed. Wake up.

Could you please post a link that can prove your assertion that the federal agents planned to effect the arrest in the court room?

So what? Her courtroom is a public place where agents can lawfully make an arrest without a judicial warrant. Her desire to avoid “a circus” has nothing to do with anything.

Charging and arresting a judge on charges that won’t stick is the circus.

Logic. They were in the courtroom. She sent him out the side door that led to the same hallway as the "public" door. And they didn't arrest him, PER THEIR FILING when the encountered him in the hallway and in the freaking elevator. The whole thing was a set up. Read the filing.
