Lady: You've got bailiffs. You've got the entire damn police force and courthouse staff at your disposal. Send the defendant into your quarters and tell him to lock the door, wait for ICE to come in the courtroom, raise your voice tell them to leave your courtroom, find them in contempt when they don't, and send them for three days. Tell the court staff to grab them. If they fight back, fuck it, game on, sounds good.
I'm glad she's trying to protect the rights of her defendant, and the agents who "arrested" her should clearly be in prison. She did good, no mistake. But I think she has a lot more leverage than she was acting with if she wants to decide to protect defendants. Trying to be sneaky about it is just going to feed into their narrative. There's a reason they cover their faces and try to snatch people quick and get out of the area. They know they're vulnerable. Feed into that.
Her bailiffs and police force are almost 100% on the side of ICE.
I think it's more that they don't know what the fuck to do in this unprecedented situation and just defaulted to submitting to the "higher" authority.
At the end of the day, they were probably just thinking of themselves and not wanting to be arrested.
Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of cops aren't happy about Trump pardoning everyone for assaulting the Capitol police, and violating everything they've been trained on how they need to do things in terms of "arresting" immigrants using ICE. She's in Wisconsin, so maybe you're right, but I still feel like her directly upholding the law using the position she has to tell bailiffs what to do would have been a better play. If they want to ignore direct orders from a judge, at least let's get that out there, and then we can figure out what to do at that point.
The truth is I'm just doing armchair analysis when I have no idea of the situation. That's how I see it though.
