The woke, activist judiciary is getting more bad news from the right as legislators wake up to the judiciary’s attempt to usurp its authority and the authority of the executive, as shown by the late-April spat between US District Judge Jennifer Thurston and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) after Thurston demanded law enforcement act contrary to current law.
As background, the issue revolved around Judge Thurston’s order in which she banned United States Customs and Border Patrol agents from arresting suspected illegal aliens without a warrant. That ruling is contrary to federal law regarding when Border Patrol agents can arrest illegal aliens, as Sen. Lee made sure to note.
Sen. Lee’s comments were precipitated by a post from the Libs of TikTok X account about the situation. She said, “BREAKING: Jennifer Thurston, a U.S. District Judge, has issued an order BANNING Border Patrol from arresting suspected illegal aliens unless they have a warrant. Another activist judge who wants to protect criminal illegals. Unreal.”
It was in a quote tweet of that post that Sen. Lee sounded off. Beginning his tirade against the judge, the senator, who could act to impeach Judge Thurston, wrote, “It appears we have yet another judge problem, as U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston has issued an order banning Border Patrol from arresting illegal aliens *unless they have a warrant*.”
Continuing, he noted that Judge Thurston’s ruling was utterly nonsensical, as officers are allowed to make arrests when they have probable cause that a crime has been committed, which could be the case with illegal aliens. He wrote, “Officers routinely arrest—without an arrest warrant—when they acquire probable cause to believe a crime has been committed.”
Then, citing a section of the legal code to that effect, specifically as it relates to Border Patrol arresting illegal aliens without a warrant, Sen. Lee wrote, “8 U.S.C. § 1357 expressly authorizes Border Patrol to make warrantless arrests for immigration violations, particularly if the person is entering the U.S. illegally.”
Concluding that post, the senator noted that there is next to no legally justifiable reason for the judge to try to block the Border Patrol from arresting illegal aliens without a warrant, writing, “I cannot fathom the justification for a judicial order prohibiting the Border Patrol from arresting illegal aliens without a warrant.”
Following that up with a quote tweet of his own post, Sen. Lee described the matter as being a very serious problem, writing, “Federal judge orders Border Patrol *not* to arrest illegal aliens without a warrant—even though federal law specifically authorizes them to do so. My fellow Americans, we have a problem. It couldn’t be more serious.”

Commenters on that final post called for the judge to be arrested. For example, political reporter Kyle Becker wrote, “Arrest the judge. It is against federal law for officials to make illegal directives ‘under the color of law.’ This isn’t a joke. Look it up.” Similarly, another commenter wrote, “It’s time to arrest and disbar any judge who’s acting as an activist. They took an oath to honor the constitution, and they are destroying it instead.”

BTTT
Once again, ILLEGALS get MORE rights than even citizens, not less.
Citizens can be arrested and detained at any time without a warrant, based on reasonable suspicion of a crime.
Now, I believe there are alot of legal caveats and restrictions on that, such as low long you can be detained without being charged, for example, but still.
Is this judges ruling going to apply to everyone, not just illegals, but also citizens? Law enforcement no longer have the right to arrest suspects without a warrant?
Inquiring minds want to know
And what are you going to do about it?
How about, instead of “calling them out”, these senators actually DO something about them???
Two things Congress can do today - expand the number of federal district judges by 66, this was pushed by Biden late in his term and these can be appointed by Trump; and 2 - assign the leftist judges on the federal DC district to hear local crime cases in DC; the Superior Court which ordinarily staffs such cases has numerous vacancies and the district judges can fill in for them. Instead of Judge Boasberg oddly getting assigned to every substantial federal case that comes in, let him busy himself with local criminal charges such as drug deals, muggings, local fraud, etc. It will keep him busy and out of politics where he has no right to be.
When will we see lawless democrats thrown in jail? When will we see the House cut off funding certain courts or shuttering them all-together?
So tired of Kabuki theater and tough 'talk'. The people who voted for Trump want to see lawless actors bankrupted and put in jail!!!
Bondi, Patel, Bongino, Noem ..... when are we going to see warrants, trials and convictions - with no respect for positions or titles ??
The judge is an anti-American Socialist. If the judge went into any other Country in the World, she would be thrown into a slammer without question. How dumb can a judicial official be allowed to operate with impunity?
Hey Hey.
J.J.
How many judges did you impeach today?
ZERO
These “judges” are attempting to destroy the Republic. Their overreaching and collusion to impede Federal laws is disgusting and should not be tolerated. No one is above the law...applies to EVERYONE...including them. Pox upon them.
Again, the ruination of the US can be largely placed at the doorstep of the nation’s law schools.
So Congre$$ is finally waking up ... well maybe they are ...
Another far left skank “judgey”. Geez. America has committed suicide appointing these hos.
Send some pizzas
