A report from ABC7 in Chicago reported that a magistrate judge ordered the release of a Venezuelan man who was arrested in a targeted enforcement operation over the weekend.
Over the weekend, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers, along with other federal agencies, carried out a targeted enforcement operation, Breitbart News reported. The actions were overseen by top officials of the Trump administration, including Border Czar Tom Homan.
According to the report from ABC7, law enforcement officials placed Edward Martinez-Cermeno, 24, into custody on Sunday for illegally entering the United States near Eagle Pass, Texas in 2023.

Damn judges are a thorn in our sides

I’m sure that Trump and Homan had already planned to release him...south of the border. They should stick with that original release plan.

Hahahahaha
A “ magistrate judge”
hahahahaha
A magistrate isn’t a real judge, they are basically people who take a weekend course on the law in a hotel ballroom.
There job is to handle the little crap, like evictions, parking tickets etc... NOTHING they rule is binding unless the parties agree to it. EVERYTHING a Magisterial “judge” rules can be appealed to the “REAL” courts, without any need to even have to present a reason for the appeal.
They exist purely to keep the real courts from being bogged down in petty minor issues.
