 Federal judge rules ICE agents in Colorado may only arrest illegal immigrants likely to flee
Story by Landon Mion • 48m

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Colorado may only arrest illegal immigrants without a warrant if the targets are likely to flee.

U.S. District Senior Judge R. Brooke Jackson's order comes after a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado and other lawyers on behalf of four people, including asylum-seekers, who were arrested by ICE without warrants earlier this year as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration.
 
The lawsuit accuses immigration agents of indiscriminately arresting Latinos to meet the Trump administration's immigration enforcement goals without evaluating the requirements to legally detain them.

First of all, it seems to me the judge is making immigration law, which is restricted to congress by the Constitution.  Second, it effectively means they cannot arrest anyone since you can't prove beforehand a person is going to run.  Third if the judge gets away with it in Colorado, every activist red state judge will soon be ruling the same way. :nono:
