Boston area judge charged for helping an immigrant evade ICE.

Absolutely on all three counts.

And I also think a judge shouldn't try to help an illegal immigrant avoid deportation, then commit perjury to hide it.

So you think ICE shouldn't interfere with the court system and the court system shouldn't interfere with ICE? That'd be great... except that ICE has no intention of not interfering with the court system. If ICE isn't going to respect the courts, why, exactly should the courts respect ICE?

[NoPartyHats]

You're talking yourself in a circle and arguing about the sanctity of law in the face of the ICE acting on orders deliberately crafted to attack people of a different skin color guised as 'enforcing the law'

At the least, it's micromanagement that's happening by federal law enforcers towards state government, which is not only inefficient but undermines the states power.

At the worst, this is a deliberately planned attack to scapegoat brown folks as the 'enemy' in order to rouse the populace towards the ideals that allow the sort of corruption we see every day today.

How you can act so blissfully naive over this is simply mind-blowing at this point. We see the effects of these 'laws' every day and how they ruin lives without helping the core issue of illegal immigration, you have to be living under a rock to believe otherwise

He’s saying ICE is terrible, BUT courts shouldn’t be making decisions where laws only apply to a certain groups or individuals because it sets a bad precedent where laws don’t apply to everyone equally.

[Firgof Umbra]

A fair point at other times in history. Right now, however, that precedent exists in an undeniable fashion. If the laws are being bent to serve the interests of one, it's only natural for people to rebel against that and refuse to enforce those laws.
