If Patel does not come back with some thing on that level or better, then this was a horrible farce.
This logic projects rationality onto an administration that does not merit such assumptions.
I would like for cops to be more humane in arresting people and stop going to place of work to grab people in front of their coworkers. But this seems like just as rude when they go to a “regular” person’s office in the middle of the day and arrest them.
The argument is that if they notify the accused beforehand they may flee. But I don’t buy this as many people will likely turn themselves in if notified. I’m guessing an ai could predict with 99% accuracy people who will self surrender and save everyone embarrassment (and money).
It seems as if the facts that the suspect was in the judge’s court and then not arrested by ICE at that point aren’t contested. And that seems like a weird thing to happen.
"And that seems like a weird thing to happen."
Um, no, because there are other things--the actual charges filed against the judge--that are contested.
A sitting judge is a sitting judge even when they are at home sleeping.
She is not "just a person" in this case.
I'm struggling with the dishonesty on grand display by some of the comments in this thread.
