A federal judge in Boston has temporarily banned ICE agents from making arrests in or around Massachusetts courthouses. The preliminary injunction came down today from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, and gives Suffolk DA Rachael Rollins and Middlesex DA Marian Ryan a big victory. Both had filed suit in federal court seeking to boot immigration officers from district courts.
Judge Talwani states in her two-page preliminary injunction that the court “ORDERS that Defendants” ICE and the acting Director Matthew T. Albence, and ICE’s Todd M. Lyons in Boston along with the federal Department of Homeland Security stop any “civil immigration actions inside courthouses.”
The judge adds ICE agents cannot civilly arrest “parties, witnesses, and others attending Massachusetts courthouses on official business while they are going to, attending, or leaving the courthouse.”
The judge is allowing ICE agents to seize “individuals brought to the courthouse in state or federal custody.”
Rollins and Ryan said in April they worked with public defenders, prosecutors, and various community groups over the past year to file the suit, which alleges that the increased ICE enforcement is scaring away immigrants and therefore making it harder to bring cases.
Developing …
Judicial tyranny.
The judge adds ICE agents cannot civilly arrest “parties, witnesses, and others attending Massachusetts courthouses on official business while they are going to, attending, or leaving the courthouse.”

I’m no lawyer, but why does this provide special protection against arrest by the Feds?
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
an Obama appointee,
I stopped right there.
Break the ban starting with District Judge Indira Talwani
WTH?!
Total complete insanity. A federal judge declares that federal officers enforcing federal laws cannot do their duty?!
Of course when Obama was in charge all immigration was federal enforcement period and ICE had carte blanche authority. But now the OTHER guy is in office states now have ultimate rights and sovereignty?
This is BS and the judge should be impeached immediately.
Obama did keep one promise...
He DID “fundamentally transform” the United States...
Maybe Federal Marshals can accompany them. They could arrest the immigration violators and the judges, too.
How far away from the courthouse can the be arrested? 100 feet, 200 feet? Lots of holes in this injunction. This won’t last long.
Did Obuttmuncher ever appoint an American to any court?
The US Marshall’s Service provides court security - they could shut down this particular court in a hurry.
Arrest those judges, then. Problem solved.
Bkmk Boston ban

That was Patrick Kennedy. I think you would need to change the Constitution for an illegal claim immunity.
How about we inform this “Federal Judge” that any illegal she releases and prevents ICE from securing, any illegal act, or crime that person later commits, she will be charged with conspiracy; then prosecuted accordingly.

Sorry, random federal judge has no jurisdiction over ICE or the Massachusetts state courts, so they should be told to go pound sand.
The difference between democrats and republicans is that democrats actually do arrest judges and violators. republicans only talk about about it.
