Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) goes to greater lengths than any other law enforcement agency to be sensitive in how it carries out its duties. The agency refrains from arresting illegal aliens near schools, houses of worship, and other locations in deference to those institutions and what they stand for.<\/p>\n
In recent years, advocates for illegal aliens have sought to bar ICE from carrying out enforcement activities in courthouse \u2013 you know, the sort of places where criminals show up after they\u2019ve been arrested for committing crimes. And, since in many jurisdictions around the country, local governments refuse to honor ICE requests to hold deportable criminals they\u2019ve arrested for other offenses, ICE has been forced to arrest them as they come out of court.<\/p>\n
Some judges \u2013 folks in black robes who have sworn to honor and uphold laws \u2013 have gone so far as to aid and abet criminal aliens<\/a> in their efforts to evade ICE officers waiting to take them into custody. Elsewhere, activist prosecutors have chosen to drop charges<\/a> against defendants rather than risk having them picked up by ICE when they show up in court.<\/p>\n
