    People are likely willing to hear you out, but you haven’t exactly made a point to hear out.

    What details do you find unclear? From what I’ve read, the judge notified ICE that they didn’t have a valid judicial warrant to arrest their target. After that, the judge allowed ICE’s target to leave the courthouse, presumably because the immigrant was not required to comply.

    There’s a growing pattern of ICE attempting to take advantage of people’s lack of ability to identify a judicial warrant to pressure them into compliance and/or arrest. I think it’s reasonable to caution anyone that has to interact with any agency that’s known to be shady.

      If that were the entire story, maybe I agree, but it doesn’t sound like that’s the entire story.

        I’m going to warn you: There’s a lot that ICE and the administration have gotten away with because of people claiming “No way. Their actions would be too ridiculous if that’s what it was. There must be more to it.”

        What we knew already even before scarce details emerged:

        • Judges are extremely slow to take deliberate actions, to affirm their position as a fair arbiter that gives all sides chances to respond
        • ICE has scarcely ever provided sufficient evidence for many of their arrests, including most of the high-profile ones
        • The immigrants involved in this crime showed no indications of being violent or dangerous (even though ICE claimed they were)

        So no, I don’t think ICE can be given benefit of doubt in this case. Every officer involved with this one can be arrested - and they can provide their argument when they go on trial.

          When Republicans push media narratives like this it always seems some details are being left out.

            “It seems like something is being left out”

            “I don’t know the whole story, I won’t read it for myself, and I won’t listen to other people about what it is.”

            “Why am I being downvoted?”
