Liberal Judge Thurston barred Border Patrol agents in California’s Eastern District from doing their job.
She says agents now need a warrant or “real evidence”.
More special protection for illegals, brought to you by Democrats.
Looks like Border Patrol is being forced to bow before another Almighty Judge.
Only this time, I have a feeling Border Patrol will push back.
Rogue judges keep exposing themselves, so you gotta be grateful for that.
US District Judge Jennifer Thurston orders Border Patrol not to arrest suspected illegal immigrants unless they have a warrant
This is not how the law works -of course
Arrests are made on the spot on the basis of probable cause
Even less at the border

Local NBC News reports:
A federal judge in California has barred Border Patrol agents from arresting someone suspected of living in the U.S. illegally unless they have a warrant or a reason to believe the person might flee before a warrant can be obtained.
Tuesday’s ruling from U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston also says Border Patrol agents can’t stop people without having reasonable suspicion or return them to their countries of origin via “voluntary departure” unless that person is informed of their rights and agrees to leave.
The ruling only applies to people within the court’s Eastern District of California, Thurston said, where dozens of people were swept up in January after the Border Patrol launched an immigration enforcement action dubbed “Operation Return to Sender.”
The American Civil Liberties Union sued Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and U.S. Border Patrol officials on behalf of the labor union United Farm Workers and people who were targeted during the Border Patrol raids.
The ACLU said border patrol agents spent nearly a week unconstitutionally detaining people who “appeared to be farmworkers or day laborers, regardless of their actual immigration status or individual circumstances.” The detainees were bussed to the border, held without any way to contact family or attorneys, and coerced into signing papers that said they had waived their right to see an immigration judge and voluntarily agreed to leave the country, the ACLU said.
And the media keeps trying to persuaded the masses that a warrant is required for illegals.
You know damn well that ICE doesn’t need a warrant when they have an illegal immigrant that has deportation orders. This is exactly why Trump calls all you guys fake news cuz you are!
