As demonstrated by the record-breaking government shutdown, no action appears out of bounds to advance a globalist agenda where Democrats are concerned. In addition to obstructing law enforcement, doxxing federal agents and taking life-threatening action against them, activist efforts in the courts could mean the release of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Operation Midway Blitz detainees if U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings subverts federal authority based on a local settlement.
The Biden-appointed judge is scheduled to hold a hearing on Wednesday on whether or not to provide “equitable relief” to illegal aliens concerning interim “alternatives to detention” such as check-in schedules with immigration agents and ankle monitoring, ABC7 reported.
Cummings already ruled in October that warrantless arrests in Chicago violated the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement that followed a class action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of ICE operations in May 2018.
Those defending the illegal aliens contend that law enforcement has disregarded the conditions for arrest under the consent decree, which include requiring probable cause of their illegal presence and suspicion of the detainee presenting a flight risk.
Representing the National Immigrant Justice Center, leading the legal challenge, Associate Director Mark Fleming insisted to ABC7’s I-Team, “As we’re digging into it, we are very concerned that many, if not most [of ICE arrests], are violations of our consent decree.”
He went on to explain that ICE had produced a list of nearly 4,000 illegal immigrants, while U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol had named roughly 1,200 detainees. Those lists required review to rule out overlap before a final total of foreign nationals subject to Cummings’ forthcoming decision would be certain.
Despite the activist angle, ABC7 Chief Legal Analyst Gil Soffer argued the outcome is not “obvious” as he explained, “In the plaintiff’s favor, they have the language in the consent decree which empowers the court to exercise, really almost any equitable power.”
“On the other side, there’s a statute that makes it very difficult for the district court, federal district court, to require the government to take or not take any action in the immigration space,” he went on.
Meanwhile, as DHS cited congressional action in their favor regarding the parole authority in the case, the department’s social media shared a Truth Social post from the president on Tuesday about the impact of Operation Midway Blitz on Chicago.
“I am proud to announce that Chicago, Illinois, despite all of the radical opposition and obstruction we have from the Mayor and the Governor, has seen Car Theft, Shootings, Robberies, Violent Crime, and everything else, drop dramatically,” wrote Trump before citing decreases in crime statistics from “only weeks ago.”
“Shootings are down 35%, Robberies are down 41%, and Carjackings are down almost 50% — And this is with just a small initial Federal Force …” detailed the commander-in-chief, who went on to state, “As we ramp up more assets, these numbers will continue to drop. This has been achieved despite the extraordinary resistance from Chicago and Illinois Radical Democrat ‘Leadership,’ and the constant Violent Leftwing Terrorism against ICE Officers and Federal Agents that Insurrectionist Democrat Officials refuse to stop or prosecute, including constant physical assault and attempted assassination.”
