[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hold ICE in contempt too but I'm not sure what good that will do.[/quote]

I think the only thing that is going to get any attention is throwing people in jail. But I'm not sure the courts believe they could make it stick.[/quote]

Except that who will do the throwing in jail? All federal law enforcement is under the DOJ, even the US Marshalls who typically are the law enforcement for the courts.[/quote]

Have to get a conviction first.  State courts don't have the authority to try federal law enforcement officials acting in the course of their duties.  That's been the law since the 19th century.

What this state court judge seems to be more upset about is the threat that federal law enforcement officials will seize illegal alien defendants when they are involved in state court criminal proceedings.  Since state law enforcement won't cooperate with ICE, monitoring the defendant's whereabouts based on state criminal proceedings seems reasonable and lawful.  It's not interfering with the state court's jurisdiction.[/quote]
