Lawbreakers should find no safe harbor in courtrooms regardless of the activist, progressive sensitivities of judges.
Dozens of retired state and federal judges this week called U.S. immigration officials to stop the practice of making arrests at courthouses of people suspected of being in the country illegally.
Judges from 23 states signed a letter stating that immigrants should be free to visit halls of justice without fearing that ICE will converge upon them.
Thankfully, U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling stood behind ICE officials who say they will not stop making courthouse arrests, regardless of the letter.
"The ICE agents who are enforcing immigration laws? They're doing just that. They're enforcing a federal law. And so, if you don't like that federal law, change the law," Lelling said Wednesday.
The law is the law and ICE should be allowed to do its job.
U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling is right to support ICE and ultimately protect the citizens of the United States and activist judges who look to obstruct law enforcement are a disgrace to the bench.
