      It’s hard to get an unbiased view from the news, but what I saw:

      ICE showed up at a courthouse, looking for a guy with an obviously immigrant-sounding name. He was due to appear in court over something. The judge allegedly had the dude (in her courtroom) go out the back staircase.

      This is from a biased source, so I expect there’s more to it, and I edited out the “he’s an illegal criminal!” Crap they were saying in both articles I read.

        The more to it is that if people start getting gulaged at their court dates, everyone stops showing up for court dates.

        The judge wants justice for the crime she’s hearing. And yeah, I’m sure she also doesn’t approve of punishments in general without due process.
