Even ICE’s website says this:
> Immigration detainers are only requests. They don’t impose any obligations on law enforcement agencies https://www.ice.gov/immigration-detainers#:~:text=Immigratio...
In Massachusetts where I live, the courts flat out ignore them and release individuals who are not accused of any crime, because:
> Massachusetts law provides no authority for court officers to arrest and hold an individual because of a federal immigration detainer

Otherwise… I have no idea why the judge would just cave to the prosecutor’s argument like that.
