Yes, truly insane. It probably went down like this:

ICE agents go into judge’s courtroom. They say they are here to arrest a migrant. Judge tells them to see the presiding. They leave and go talk to the head judge of the courthouse.

They leave and migrant’s case is dealt with - a new pre trial is set, and the guy leaves.

ICE agents get in trouble bc they lost the guy.

They go out and finally find him.

ICE agents are in trouble. They now blame the judge for sending them to see presiding! They leave, and courtroom judge can’t just hold the migrant if he’s given a new court date for another pretrial.

Agents screwed up. Probably went for coffee in the interim.

Screwing up, in that they didn’t get away with arresting a guy in a courthouse which presiding judge probably nixed. Courts want to encourage people to attend their court dates.

And I bet the migrant left by the regular door when the agents were having coffee, and they just made up that part that he left by the side door.

Just another bunch of bullshit brought to you by the orange menace.
