Wisconsin Judge Faces Federal Charges After Allegedly Aiding Immigration Suspect

Conveniently ignored is that the initial actions of  ICE may have been illegal.

 

1. ICE showed up in the courtroom and sought to interject in the middle of a proceeding.The protocol is that  any action must  first be authorized by  the chief judge of the courthouse. Police cannot burst into a court room and demand to arrest a person. 

 

2. The judge stated that the warrant ICE had was not appropriate and that it needed a different type of warrant to arrest the accused. 

Either the  correct legal procedures are followed or they are not. If not, the rule of law disintegrates.

 

Allowing government  agents to arrest anyone without  respecting legal procedures or the law itself sets a precedent. Next time   they won't be arresting alleged  immigration offenders.

 

 

You have conveniently only gotten the incident partially correct. The judge asked the agents if they had a judicial warrant for his arrest, which is necessary to make an arrest inside the Courthouse; they told her that they only had an administrative warrant and intended to make the arrest outside the court.

She then, after adjourning the hearing, directed Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave the court by a door leading to a non-public area in a deliberate and wilful attempt to prevent the agents from arresting Flores-Ruiz.

 

She has rightfully been charged with two criminal counts of "obstructing and impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States" and "concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest"

 

Unless you are a left-wing extremist, I can see no reason for you wanting to defend a judge that has deliberately obstructed the arrest of an illegal immigrant; one that was issued an Expedited removal order in 2013, and is wanted for alleged domestic abuse.

The ‘warrant’ they had was an ‘administrative warrant’, it was not signed by a judge.

You are confusing allegations in the affidavit as fact.

The affidavit came after the arrest, it is the arresting officers account of the incident. Put simply, one side of the story.

I don’t think not automatically regarding allegations as fact has ever been the reserve of ‘left-wing extremists’, in fact I’m quite certain that there exists a whole process of law and jurisdiction to examine allegations as factual or otherwise.

Is your version based upon the events recorded in the courtroom?  The judge was arrested based upon  an affidavit that  presented this "evidence"

 

3. I base this affidavit upon personal knowledge and upon information reported to me by other federal law enforcement officers during and as part of their official duties, all of whom I believe to be truthful and reliable. In this affidavit, “case agents” refers to me and other FBI Special Agents who directly have participated with me in this investigation. I also base this affidavit upon information provided by citizen witnesses and other information as described below.

 

5. This affidavit is intended to show merely that there is probable cause for the requested criminal complaint and does not set forth my complete knowledge regarding this matter.

 

So far we have the enforcement agents' version. Unfortunately,   other cases  have shown that the    agents  lie.  This is not about whether or not someone should be detained and  removed from the country. it is about the sanctity of the  judicial process and the importance of keeping  law enforcement separate from judicial practice.

It is a defense of the separation of powers and of the  need to keep the judicial system  independent. The same rights protect you from unauthorized stop and search and detention.
