    I need to know if they have broke any laws by doing so.

    Yes? The whole point is that they had the wrong paperwork and were not legally allowed to arrest the guy whose case the judge was presiding over.

      It’s not my particular place to lay out the details in this case. I suspect there are other people who are much better suited but my interpretation is they had paperwork to arrest in a public venue. The court was not said venue. The Judge then purposefully directed him to leave using an alternative exit to prevent his arrest. The legality of that action is what’s in question.

        Incorrect. An administrative warrant gives no grounds for an arrest, it authorizes fact-finding only.

        The legality of that action is what’s in question.

        What law do you think allows ICE to dictate what exits to use?
