Based on her inspection of his birth certificate and Social Security card, Riggans said she found no probable cause for the charge. However, the state prosecutor insisted the court lacked jurisdiction over Lopez-Gomez’s release because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally asked the jail to hold him.
“This court does not have any jurisdiction other than what I’ve already done,” Riggans said.
Riggans said she was very sorry as Lopez-Gomez’s mother left.
This is such bullshit. The judge is just as guilty of this racist bullshit as is ICE and anybody else willing to roll over to suck Trump’s tiny dick.
I get what you are saying and I agree that it is bullshit, but the fault isn’t with the judge. There are a lot of things our government and laws were not prepared for and and unscrupulous fascist government is power was one of them. This is a jurisdictional loophole that might allow ICE to hold US citizens captive indefinitely. Native Americans are very well acquainted with this type of fuckery.
You’re right that we live in unprecedented times, but judges are there to uphold the rule of law, as set forth by congress. But they are also well within their rights to push back against unconstitutional laws. This situation qualifies as unconstitutional.
Lopez-Gomez gave his Georgia state ID to the trooper, who wrote in his report that Lopez-Gomez said he was in the country illegally.
So the police officer was a racist piece of shit, and brought him into this bullshit? He should be sued
Do we fight for our fellow country men? Or do we let the fascists pick us apart one by one ?
anyone who voted for the orange cancer is complicit.
when all this is over, there better be some consequences for them.

As is anyone who failed to vote against him. I’m not talking about stay-at-home Democrats either. I know Ayn Rand-ish “libertarian” old-time Republicans who always toed the old-school Republican lines on healthcare, social spending, global warming, taxes, offense spending &etc, who KNEW that Trump was a fraud and a nascent dictator, and who refused to vote against him because “my vote doesn’t matter, the Whole System is a charade, there are People in power who control everything including elections and who just pretend to give us the illusion of choice every few years at the polls”. Basically a stupid excuse to avoid admitting that they’ve spent a lifetime wallowing in the deep end of the conservative bullshit pool only to have it end in a dystopia that will drown them too. Anything is better than admitting to having been wrong with their whole ideology for their whole lives. Wrong = weak, and I suspect too that they’re thinking “anyway, I donated $100 to a Trump election PAC, surely I’ll be OK, they won’t be coming for me.”
How can you arrest a non-immigrant under an anti-immigration law?
