SEATTLE (AP) — Inside a Virginia courthouse, three immigration agents in plainclothes — one masked — detained a man who had just had misdemeanor assault charges dismissed. They declined to show identification or a warrant to the man, and one threatened to prosecute horrified witnesses who tried to intervene, cellphone video shows.
In North Carolina, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed it arrested four people at a county courthouse, according to local media reports, prompting the sheriff to express concerns about a lack of communication from the agency as well as about disruption to court proceedings.
Inside a courthouse in New Hampshire, a pair of agents tackled a Venezuelan man outside an elevator, flattening an older man with a cane in the process. And in Boston, an ICE agent detained a man who was on trial. A municipal court judge held the agent in contempt over the arrest, but the order was later overturned by a federal judge.

Judges turn them loose. Immigration agents pick them up.
Exactly.
While the mass media is whining...millions of Americans are giving ICE a standing ovation and saying “It is about time”.
The “advocates” should worried. Hopefully, they’re on their way out too! Most of them are also illegal aliens.
I remember when courts were used to try criminals for their crimes. Now they are hangouts for illegal alien invaders looking for American wives with good jobs in the “justice” department.
It sure is interesting how leftists have hijacked the language. Accessories to a crime are now called “advocates”.
There are many other examples of this hijacking. Illegal aliens are now called “undocumented immigrants”. Etc.
Keep it up, ICE!!!! Good job....
I'm all for getting illegals out of the country, but still, this is not good (if true). Shows a bad attitude we don't need in law enforcement.
Right!
Once a person comes here illegally ... he makes himself into a ‘wolf’s head’
It’s open season on wolf’s heads into perpetuity! There’s no protocol and no end of ‘season’ to apprehend them
If they are not required to show ID, I stand with their decision. All the nabobs will be onto another pissy attitude tomorrow about a new offense.
The minute these advocates, or what someone else rightfully said are accessories to a crime get an agent’s name You know they’re going to dox them and the protesters will show up at their house.
And they don’t need a warrant
Wisconsin judge accused of obstructing ICE could face
years in prison, DOJ has ‘upper hand’: former prosecutor
May 1, 2025, wfin.com, Fox News’ Patrick McGovern and Garrett Tenney contributed to this report.
A Milwaukee, Wisconsin judge could face years in prison for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a former federal prosecutor said. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, 65, was arrested by the FBI and charged with obstruction of proceedings before a department or agency of the United States on Friday. She allegedly whisked away a previously-deported illegal immigrant and his attorney from her courthouse in order to stop ICE from arresting him. She was also charged with concealing an individual to prevent discovery and arrest.
“It’s five years if the individual is wanted for a felony, and it’s one year if they’re wanted for a misdemeanor,” attorney Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital this week. “So it’s five years.” Dugan’s arrest came after Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz appeared in court on April 18 to face three misdemeanor battery charges for allegedly beating two people. Though he was there on state-level misdemeanors, federal law enforcement was trying to arrest him for the federal felony of illegal reentry into the United States, Rahmani explained. Flores-Ruiz was removed from the United States in 2013.
According to the DOJ, Flores-Ruiz was “subject to arrest based on an administrative warrant issued by ICE for immigration violations following his recent criminal charges in Milwaukee County.” “Under the Supremacy Clause, the law is clear,” Rahmani said. “A state judge can’t ignore federal law, much less a federal warrant, whether it’s signed by a judge or even an administrative warrant.” He also said that states have no right to slow down federal immigration proceedings.

On April 18, Flores-Ruiz was in Dugan’s courtroom for a pre-trial hearing facing three state charges of misdemeanor domestic battery for allegedly punching a roommate 30 times and hitting a woman inside his residence. According to the DOJ, Dugan first confronted federal agents and ordered them to leave the courtroom before Flores-Ruiz’s hearing began. She told them they needed a judicial warrant, and to get one from the Chief Judge’s office. When the agents were no longer in her vicinity, she then canceled Flores-Ruiz’s hearing, despite the fact that his alleged victims were present. That is when she allegedly personally escorted Flores-Ruiz through a restricted “jury door” that led to a non-public hallway, through which Flores-Ruiz exited the building. Federal agents took him into custody after a brief foot chase.
Ultimately, Rahmani said that Dugan’s arrest sends a clear message. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a cartel member, a coyote, local law enforcement, a judge – you can’t do it,” he said. “I mean, the law applies to everyone equally. So I think this is absolutely sending the message. And I understand that people are upset at immigration enforcement and all that, but you can’t break the law, especially if you are tasked with enforcing the law. That is your job as a judge.”
Dugan did not speak during her first court hearing in federal court, but her attorney was defiant. Fox News confirmed Tuesday that Dugan is not in her courtroom, and the doors to her courtroom are locked. On Wednesday, she was temporarily suspended from her position. She has retained the law firm Mastantuono Coffee & Thomas. Former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Steven Biskupic, a President George W. Bush appointee, has also joined Dugan’s defense team. So has another former Bush appointee, ex-U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement.
“Judge Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge,” the law firm said on Dugan’s behalf. “She has retained former US Atty Steven Biskupic to represent her. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated. This will be the extent of any statements or interviews at this time.” Biskupic and Clement did not return requests for comment. Dugan is due back in court on May 15.

Sadly, the left is good at hijacking the language. Here are some other common cases of language hijacking:
Using the term "sexual orientation" instead of "sexual preference".
Using “gender” instead of “sex”.
Using “Black” instead of “black”.
Using “Gender affirming surgery” instead of “genital mutilation surgery”.
Using "Undocumented immigrant" instead of "Illegal immigrant" or "Illegal alien".
Saying that someone was "assigned" a sex (or worse gender) at birth is woke. A person's sex is recorded at birth, not assigned.
Using the term "equity" (equal outcome) instead of "equality" (equal opportunity).
Affirmative Action = quotas = discrimination = woke.
Additions are welcome.
Just attended a meeting warning of “immigration action at farmers’ markets”. Basically a bunch of lawyers telling vendors how to help their illegal staff avoid detection, as if ICE will be hanging around the markets...though, in Healey’s Commonwealth, it would be a runner up to the courthouse. They are ALL receiving benefits that are used at the markets. Yes, sweeping generalization there, but I think it is okay this time.
I’m hoping they show up for the Cinco de Mayo festival this weekend in my town that has become 90% Hispanic.
You can add Butt Implant “specialists” are not doctors. LOL
Not if showing their names on badges makes them targets for other illegal gang members.
We need three different standards: Dealing with Americans, with legal immigrants, and with illegal immigrants.
They declined to show identification or a warrant.
The criminal don’t need papers to be in the country they don’t need papers to deport him.
If the scale of justice is balanced
