Biden-Appointed Judge Orders ICE Agents ARRESTED at Courthouses
A Biden-appointed judge has ruled that ICE violated an earlier agreement from 2022 limiting it’s work at courthouses.
In his ruling, Judge Jeffrey Cummings emphasized that Agents should be arrested if they continue taking illegals into custody at courthouses.
The centerpiece for the judge’s ruling is the location… COURTHOUSES.
But the approach the judge is taking in the legality of the issue actually has to do with the so-called ‘warrantless’ arrests, presumably without cause — even though we’re talking about ILLEGALS inside the country ILLEGALLY.
For his part, President Trump has been very clear as the Executive in charge of protecting America’s borders from illegal immigration.
Here was his answer when asked directly how he felt about ICE arresting illegals at courthouses and court proceedings:
REPORTER: ICE are making targeted arrests at courthouses.
TRUMP: Criminals. They’re arresting CRIMINALS. I’m HAPPY about it. I WANT them to arrest criminals!

That sounds like basic common sense!
But according to Judge Cummings it’s a breakdown of justice for illegals to be taken into custody at a courthouse.
Here’s a quick breakdown of that 2022 ‘agreement’ at the heart of Judge Cummings’ ruling to give a little background on what’s going on — this is from a story in Newsweek:
A federal court in Chicago has ordered sweeping new limits on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Midwest, ruling that agents repeatedly violated federal law and a binding consent decree by arresting people without warrants.
The case Castañón Nava v. Department of Homeland Security stems from a 2022 settlement requiring ICE to follow strict procedures for warrantless arrests for civil immigration violations across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky and Kansas.
The settlement agreement took effect on May 13, 2022, and was to remain in place until February 2, 2026.
Cummings found that ICE “arrested twenty-two out of the twenty-six claimant class members without a warrant in violation of the Agreement and the requirements of 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2).”
The court concluded that the agency’s Chicago field office “failed to substantially comply with [the agreement’s] terms,” citing practices such as agents carrying blank administrative-warrant forms—known as Form I-200s—and filling them out after detaining individuals.
Cummings wrote that the tactic was “explicitly designed to circumvent the requirement that officers have probable cause before a warrantless arrest.”
I’m not sure how much more ‘probably cause’ an ICE Agent needs to round up illegals beyond the fact that they are ILLEGAL.
But that’s the ‘agreement’ that was put in place under the Biden Administration, which Judge Cummings is now using to limit ICE’s ability to do it’s job.
Here’s a quick video Tim Pool put out yesterday that I want to throw into the mix.
He does a great job explaining this from the standpoint of Executive Authority.
And showing how the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S OWN PREVIOUSLY ARGUMENT in line with Executive authority shows how ridiculous this is:
“They already arrested the guy who became president, and they want to put him in prison. What makes you think they wouldn’t go after a single federal agent?”

From a constitutional standpoint, Pool’s argument is air-tight.
But notice the other point he made in his post and iterated in that video.
They’ve already locked up the man who became PRESIDENT — they won’t hesitate for one second going after individual ICE Agents.
And that’s why this matters. This is nothing short of a fear tactic aimed at intimidating federal agents from doing their sworn duty according to the LAW.
That, in itself, is illegal… I might add.
The order was actually signed last week and has ALREADY GONE INTO EFFECT, according to this report published on the 16th by the CBS News affiliate in Chicago:
Cook County’s top judge has signed an order barring ICE from arresting people at courthouses. Cook County includes Chicago, which has seen a federal immigration crackdown in recent months.
Detaining residents outside court has been a common tactic for federal agents, who have been stationed outside county courthouses for weeks, making arrests and drawing crowds of protesters.
The order, which was signed Tuesday night and took effect Wednesday, bars the civil arrest of any “party, witness, or potential witness” while going to court proceedings. It includes arrests made inside courthouses and in parking lots, surrounding sidewalks and entryways.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defended the practice of making arrests at courthouses, calling it “common sense.”
“We aren’t some medieval kingdom; there are no legal sanctuaries where you can hide and avoid the consequences for breaking the law,” DHS said in a statement. “Nothing in the Constitution prohibits arresting a lawbreaker where you find them.”
Alexa Van Brunt, director of MacArthur Justice Center’s Illinois office, which filed the petition, said she was “gratified” by Evans’ order.
“This is a necessary and overdue action to ensure that the people of Cook County can access the courts without fear,” she said in a statement to The Associated Press.
It isn’t really surprising that we’re seeing a move in this direction from judges, especially in the Chicago area.
Check out this clip from the Speaker of the Illinois House just last week demonizing the ‘masked ICE Agents’, and lamenting the plight of Illegals who are ‘AFRAID’ to move freely.
He doesn’t just want to rely on those activist judges to hinder ICE.
He wants to see LEGISLATION in the Illinois legislature that would put a stop to President Trump’s immigration policy being carried out completely:
With Democrats like that carrying the torch, who even needs activist judges?
But that’s just the point — what might be harder to pull off in a state assembly is EASY when it’s up to a single judicial tyrant. (I said what I said.)
The judge’s order also focused on ‘collateral arrests’ — those who aren’t necessarily the targeted individuals in an ICE raid, but who happen to be scooped up for being in the vicinity.
Last I checked, you didn’t HAVE to be targeted in order to be arrested.
If you’re found to be in violation of the law… you’re fair game by law enforcement!
So which is it? These anti-Trump judges and politicians can’t seem to make up their minds whether they LIKE criminals to be TARGETED…
Or whether that’s a violation of the ILLEGAL ALIEN’S constitutional rights.
I don’t generally use this phrase — but I can’t even… folks. Where did these people go to school that their logic sucks SO BAD?
Never mind. That’s a different story for a different day.
But those ‘collateral arrests’ has this judge thrown into a tizzy, declaring that ICE Agents — AND NOT ILLEGALS — should be the ones targeted for arrest… as reported by Breitbart:
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered that ICE officers are barred from arresting migrants at courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. He also ordered that federal law enforcement can be arrested if they violate his orders.
The judge’s order aimed to prevent what are called “collateral arrests” of people whom ICE officers discover are illegal on the spot. These are migrants that ICE agents come across by happenstance while looking for someone they have a warrant to apprehend.
Cummings stated that courthouses must be places where witnesses and suspects feel safe.
“The fair administration of justice requires that courts remain open and accessible, and that litigants and witnesses may appear without fear of civil arrest,” he said in his order.
Judge Cummings also cited in his ruling arrests that have been made recently outside county courthouses where ICE has taken “collateral” migrants into custody in the Chicago area.
“One thing seems clear: ICE rousted American citizens from their apartments during the middle of the night and detained them — in zip ties no less — for far longer than the ‘brief’ period authorized by the operative regulation,” the judge wrote.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it intends to “comply with all lawful court orders and is addressing this matter with the court.” (Emphasis added.)
Apparently scenes like this, with illegals being taken into custody, shouldn’t happen near or inside courthouses:
THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR!!!
ICE is PUSHING THEIR WAY through protestors and apprehending illegal aliens at a courthouse in NY.
NO MORE GAMES!!!

The fundamental unwillingness of the left to look at reality with logic and common sense is an insurmountable obstacle in these scenarios.
I’m a red-blooded conservative with HEAVY libertarian leanings — to the point that I will often argue something on a moral basis from the pages of Scripture…
While simultaneously arguing that the GOVERNMENT has no right to intervene in this, that, and the other thing.
But I’m also a constitutionalist. And the fact that we’re a REPUBLIC matters.
You can’t build an argument on the basis of the constitutional illegality of WARRANTLESS ARRESTS… when the person you’re talking about doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the constitution to begin with —
Because they are ILLEGAL!
Until that lack of logic and academic dishonesty is addressed in the liberal courts, among leftist judges, and in democrat-dominated cities like Chicago…
There’s only going to be one remedy for the maintenance of true constitutional justice.
And that’s the force of will exercised duly and powerfully by the Executive Branch.
