Judge: Dade Holding Arrested Immigrants For ICE Is Unconstitutional

[Madmallard]

A Miami-Dade judge ruled Friday that county holds of arrested immigrants for ICE is unconstitutional but the debate is not over.

“Yeah, this is a great win. It’s a great win for the Constitution. It’s a great win for individual rights and it’s a judge who’s courageous enough not to be intimidated by the president of the United States,” said attorney Louis Reizenstein.

In his order, the judge said the ICE holds on county inmates violate “the separation of powers between the state and federal governments…(and) the Constitution of the United States….The Federal government is without power to compel state authorities to house… Federal prisoners.”

While the judge ruled against the county, the practical effect of the ruling on arrested immigrants is not yet clear since the county can appeal the decision and they plan to.

So will this carry over to ALL FEDERAL CRIMES?
They won't hold a mass murderer if the deeds happens in another state?

I guess laws are only to be upheld if the judge personally agrees with them:

Oregon judge faces scrutiny for allegedly helping illegal immigrant escape ICE

An Oregon judge is being investigated after she allegedly helped an illegal immigrant elude ICE agents in January by guiding the man through a private entrance at the courthouse.​

Since when was the Constitution written for illegals ?

Everyone gets due process!

Which includes being held until ice comes and gets you!

 

[ProgSpear]

Since when were judges immune from impeachment?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Let these judges see the court room from a different vantage point. Put THEM on trial for treason and throw their asses, robes and all, in jail.

I just can't believe that these judges would chance to throw away their careers to defend an illegal immigrant.
What am I missing?
There's got to be more to this.

Feds can only make arrests with a warrant. (This is the reason they have local PD on "task forces")
There is an exception to that rule however.
US Customs.
US Customs which ICE is a part of, does not need a warrant to make arrests or even a search warrant to search.
So once again the Judge has screwed up by applying his political bent to decisions rather than the law.
