California’s chief justice accused federal immigration agents of “stalking” illegal immigrants at the state’s courthouses, drawing a fierce rebuke this week from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, who said a top judge should know better than to throw around such a loaded term.
The two Trump administration officials said it was “particularly troubling” for Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye to botch the law so badly in using the term “stalking” to imply illegal activity, when in fact the agents were carrying out their sworn duties.
“As you are aware, stalking has a specific legal meaning in American law, which describes criminal activity involving repetitive following or harassment of the victim with the intent to produce fear of harm,” Mr. Sessions and Mr. Kelly chided, adding that agents’ powers to arrest illegal immigrants in public has long been legally established.

Gee thanks Governor Schwarzenegger...
I suppose Police detectives are then guilty of stalking criminals for arrest.
I feel a Capt. Piccard /facepalm is needed here.
Yep, Arnaud picked quite the ‘winner’ here.
These justices that say these things are enemies of the state and enemies of the country. there is no longer any doubt in my mind. What’s funny (if you can find humor in it) Democrats have become the very people the Hippy Liberals marched and protested against! Crazy Shat.
Language is the basis for maintaining law and order. Sessions has the will and the knowledge to set these people straight. Well done.
Judge Tani said this over a week ago. I’m glad Sessions is giving it the proper condemnation it deserves, albeit some time after the fact.
Immigration officers are stalking criminals who violated immigration law? I’m shocked!
So why is it that you have to pay money and get checked out to get a passport to get out of the country but there are no requirements to get into the country??
Odd, I thought that’s what we paid them to do....................

Sometimes all you need to read is the name.
Especially when you see a hyphen; you can assume the worst.
It’s time to start charging people aiding and abetting illegal aliens criminally.

Absolutely...It’s getting to the point that many people (even some LEOs) seem to think illegal aliens are being discriminated against, especially in these sanctuary cities and states.

Looks like she’s a member of the “don’t you know who I am” crowd and feels she’s above the law.
