Homeland Security takes Bolingbrook man into ICE custody after he appears in Kane County court on DUI
Lawyer urges Chief Judge to reinstate Zoom court for everyone of Latino descent
A Mexican immigrant from Bolingbrook, who had just appeared in Kane County court, was taken into custody by U.S. Homeland Security Thursday and is now being held in ICE custody at a Broadview detention facility, according to Kane County officials and public records.
Orlando Manriquez-Valdivia, 38, has Mexico listed as his country of origin, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detainee information.
…
He had just pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated DUI, a Class 4 felony. It was part of a plea agreement that included 24 months of probation and other charges not being prosecuted, court records show. He’d been stopped by Montgomery police about 1:39 a.m. Aug. 3, 2024, and charged with drunken driving on a suspended or revoked license.
…
Hours after Manriquez-Valdivia’s arrest, Elgin attorney Caroline Hernandez emailed Chief Judge Robert Villa asking that Villa’s office reinstate the option for remote court appearances over Zoom, “particularly those involving people of Latino descent who are now being actively targeted by ICE outside the Kane County courthouse.”
”What is happening is racial profiling. ICE is showing up where Latino defendants are required to be – and picking them off. That’s not law enforcement. That’s an ambush.”
…
Villa, the chief judge, was not at the courthouse Friday and did not return a message left with court services seeking comment.

people of Latino descent
Translated: aliens, usually Mexicans, here illegally who just can’t stop breaking our laws
It’s not racial profiling, it’s criminal profiling. And that’s kinda the reason we have law enforcement. To “profile”, aka “catch” criminals.🙄🙄

Latino is not a race.
"What is happening is racial profiling, which is evil! So I demand that the court impose reverse discrimination, which is likewise a form of racial profiling! And hence also evil!"
Typical muddled leftist thinking!

Thanks for that clarification !
CORRECT!
There is no such thing as race, not scientifically speaking.
Your right. Only the human race. The distinctions are really levels of melanin.
Shouldn’t “Latino judge” Bobby Villa recuse himself due to himself being a “latino?”

I remember when mere aiding, abetting, harboring, colluding & conspiracy were THEMSELVES crimes.
Yet, the Trump admin (far as I can discern) has only arrested ONE judge for any such crime, while the likes of K. Bass in S.F. still walks around free (sanctuary policies that violate Fed. law, just signed order to [illegally] utilize taxpayer $$ to aid criminal illegal aliens, etc.)
Merely goes to show me just how UN-serious they are about it all (sure, sure, hundred here. Hundred there. Couple centuries, we’ll start making some headway vs. the 20M+ criminals let in in the last 4 year alone *rolls eyes*)
Mexican. DUI. Insta-deport.
OK, if Zoom Court means to zoom illegal aliens out of the country pronto.
They should be able to zoom conference from their home countries. I have no problem with that.
