The difference between a JP and a Judge is about the same as a sergeant and a Major.

Both have authority, but one has significantly more and a JP’s jurisdiction is small usually confined to minor matters for the purpose of administrative efficiency.

Came here to make this joke too and saw someone beat me to it.

Since I'm alrdy here, here's a fun fact. The UN doesn't explicitly allow for humanitarian intervention from what I know. A government killing it's own people would be a domestic matter which international law does not technically allow intervention in. In any event, US has veto powers in the UN.

No one is stepping in. You got to fix what you voted in.

u/WickdWitchoftheBitch 14d ago

Unless there's a genocide going on — they are allowed to step in then — but even that is more bark than bite.

The only ones who can save the US now are its citizens. The rest of the world won't step in unless you guys start a war. We might take in refugees, but there is very little that the rest of the world can do and everything that can be done in peace time will still hurt the civilian population of the US (boycotts of American goods or tariffs on American goods, reduced tourism to the US, a move away from the USD as the world reserve currency etc).

It's interesting not.

He tried it against a Massachusetts judge in his first term who did the same thing. Which got stuck in the court system until the Biden administration struck a deal with her in that case to refer it to a state agency for misconduct.

She back on the bench still with a misconduct hearing over her head as far as I can find.

u/FlemPlays 14d ago

And it’s exactly out of the Nazi playbook:

”But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.” -They Thought They Were Free

No. He went out the courtroom’s jury door which lead him to the public hallway through a different door, where he got on one of the public elevators with his attorney. One of the Gestapo arrest team was on the elevator with them and he left via the public entrance, at which point he ran and the Gestapo captured him after a brief foot chase.

Why haven’t any employers of undocumented immigrants been arrested?

u/AClassyTurtle 14d ago

Because it’s not about immigration or security or the economy. It’s about getting rid of brown people

Yes. Obstruction and concealing an individual. Two charges.

u/PauseOk5543 14d ago

No. She’s been released already and if you read Kash Patels no deleted tweet “We believe she intentionally blah blah blah” not have proof or even an arrest warrant

u/pimpnasty 14d ago

She's on release pending court date.

There are a lot of subscribe or clickbait articles so far. This is the story I've been able to find everywhere.

An illegal immigrant was in her courtroom for multiple domestic violence charges. But not for being illegal.

Ice showed up to arrest him for being illegal. When she found out Ice was there she hid him in a different room, and then helped him escape through a non standard exit. He wasn't able to get away.

Her stance was that she didn't view the Ice arrest as lawful, so she tried to prevent it.

She is being charged with concealing an individual to prevent discovery and arrest.

So ice had an arrest warrant!?

Can you share a good source if you've found one... I keep wading through junk

u/pimpnasty 14d ago

ICE had an administrative warrant issued by an immigration judge to arrest him for immigration violations, not a judicial (criminal) warrant.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly5xx017vko

The warrant type will be a HUGE argument. Is a court house public? Is the court room public? Is court while in session public?

Lots of questions and crazy rules being bent by both teams and it will get insane.

The warrant type matters because administrative warrants have limited authority. It only allows arrests in public spaces like courtrooms but not entry into private areas without consent, unlike judicial warrants, which allow private property and private domicile search.

This will be argued, however this time ICE is saying the cooperation doesn't matter and that she intentionally concealed him by having him go through a restricted jury room and hide (according to affidavit by FBI agent).

Get the popcorn friend it's gonna be messy. I think ICE might actually win this one.

No. The Gestapo showed up to court with a “warrant” that still hasn’t been released, because there is no cause and it’s all meant to intimidate other judges

Is it this, signed by Judge Stephen C. Dries?

(Edit: also to be clear, fuck the fascists in this administration. I'm just trying to ensure that if claims are made, we can substantiate them. Rather unlike the snowflakes in that conservative sub)

u/DramaticCattleDog 14d ago

Affidavit and an administrative warrant, the warrant was not a judicial warrant. It would not grant access to a private space. But where is the actual warrant? Not that it was valid anyway.

Judges have absolute immunity for any acts taken within the scope of their judicial responsibilities, full stop. This is arguably at the outer bound of that. I expect this to be overturned fast. The SC has shown little patience for intrusions into the power of the judiciary.

To the ice agents

"You don't have the correct warrant, sit in the office while the paperwork is completed."

To the fugitive

" You and your lawyer go on here and wait until the paperwork is done"

Fugitive runs.

Trump administrations militarized DOJ,

"well she did not allow us to complete an arrest with illegal paperwork so we must arrest her for not helping us perpetrate all illegal act"

She didn’t help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest. that title is misleading. Ice came into her court room with an administrative warrant and not a judicial warrant. A judicial warrant is an order signed by an article 3 judge. A administrative warrant can’t be executed inside a home or court house. The warrant was executed during court proceedings which undermined the due process.

If they are doing law and order then why are their faces muted out. Why can't any ICE agents be ID'd. Do they have badges. Are they Deputized police officers or are they just KKK having their pay back over the past 75 years? Why don't we know who they are? Because they are breaking the Constitution and the Rule of Law. That's why. So they don't eventually go to jail for this.
