Massachusetts prosecutors sue ICE over courthouse arrests
The Hill ^ | 04/29/2019 | Jacqueline Thomsen

A pair of Massachusetts district attorneys filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday, asking that a federal judge place an injunction on the agency’s directive authorizing the arrests of undocumented immigrants at state courthouses.


In the lawsuit, the district attorneys for Middlesex and Suffolk counties allege that an ICE directive authorizing the civil arrests of undocumented immigrants at courthouses is in violation of long-standing practices — and is harming the judicial system.


“Entire communities now view the Massachusetts courts as places where they cannot go, for any reason, greatly impeding access to justice and undermining the administration of justice in these communities,” the complaint reads.

This lawsuit should go nowhere. Should. But as we have seen recently with the indictment of a MA judge for helping an illegal alien escape arrest, some judges do not care about either their oaths of office nor the law itself.

Get federal arrest warrants for these two ‘massoftwoshits prosecutors’ and upon conviction, hang ‘em.

I was expecting the usual crowd of leftist The Hill loons commenting on this story, but so far most comments are surprisingly sane.

The lawsuit shouldn’t even be heard. Obama sued Arizona and won. The Federal Government enforces immigration laws.

There is more protection for illegals in Massachusetts than there is for Americans.

“Entire communities now view the Massachusetts courts as places where they cannot go..."

By "entire communities" do they mean illegal foriegners?

The DA's need to be disbarred. They are supposed to represent the people of the state of Massachusetts, not the state of Guadalajara.

Oh, and the Constitution.

Fire and disbar for a violation of their oaths.

I would think that ‘long-standing traditions’ would mean following the law not obstruction for the arrest of criminal aliens

Remember when American citizens were treated like citizens?

Boy, those were the good old days.

[“Entire communities now view the Massachusetts courts as places where they cannot go”]

What “Entire communities”? You mean communities of illegal invaders taking jobs from American citizens and milking the systems paid for by American citizens?

THOSE “Entire communities”?

And unfortunately they’re moving to places like Atlanta, Nashville, DFW, Austin, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Greenville, and all over Florida and taking part in the destruction of those places as well.

Although, Austin has been gone for quite a while.

If FReepers really wanted to make a lasting improvement in America’s future, you would all vote to kick Massoftwoshitts out of the Union! MA is the “fountainhead” of all that is wrong with our country today!

Looks like Democrats - the Suffolk one was appointed by a Democrat, anyways - Deval Patrick

We are shocked, no? No.

I think I remember Lloyd Doggett, early in his political career, complaining about Texans having to pay more for heating than those living in the north. That seems to have been scrubbed from the internet now. I can see why he wouldn't want his Dem brethren to be reminded of that now.

The same communities that permitted the 0bammy’s Auntie Zutie, who was ordered deported 3 times, given free housing, food, and medical care for over 20 years. MA really sucks as a state.
