In reply to the discussion: Jamie Raskin's take on the arrest of the Judge [View all]pat_k
(11,167 posts)39. My understanding: the federal charge is obstructing an ICE arrest
...in a place that ICE should not be allowed to operate -- a place the 47 regime declared inbounds 1/21, hoping for precisely this type of event. The charge falls into the purview of the FBI.
The case is just another effort of the 47 regime to bully and grab power in service of itself and the billionaires that installed him. They seek to distract us with immoral immigration "enforcement" tactics while they pick our pockets with their MAGA Murder Budget (because people will die) and steal dollars the Federal Government owes to each state.
This is not a new horror and we must connect it to a consistent, repetitive, compelling narrative.
