MIAMI (CBSMiami) — A Miami-Dade judge ruled Friday that county holds of arrested immigrants for ICE is unconstitutional but the debate is not over.
“Yeah, this is a great win. It’s a great win for the Constitution. It’s a great win for individual rights and it’s a judge who’s courageous enough not to be intimidated by the president of the United States,” said attorney Louis Reizenstein.
In his order, the judge said the ICE holds on county inmates violate “the separation of powers between the state and federal governments…(and) the Constitution of the United States….The Federal government is without power to compel state authorities to house… Federal prisoners.”
While the judge ruled against the county, the practical effect of the ruling on arrested immigrants is not yet clear since the county can appeal the decision and they plan to.

The swamp’s obviously a LOT bigger than many people thought and extends into almost every courtroom, at every level, in the United States.
Thanks for the clarification.
Since when has constitutional rights been applied to non citizens? Another example of an activist judiciary reinterpreting and rewriting Federal law.
Come on Sessions. Do your job and have this judge arrested. If I get to ask President Trump a question tomorrow at the rally, my question will be this: You say we should honor the law. Why aren’t you arresting judges and politicians who are breaking it?
The Judiciary made their decision... Now let them enforce it - lol
I was wondering about people putting so much faith in Sessions. He hardly seems like a crusader.
I don’t understand the holdup on the new Immigration EO.
More than 4000 people have come since the ban was lifted.
Draft it and execute it.
Proving once again that if liberals shop carefully they can find a judge to rule however they want.
“At some point the Feds should look into arresting some of these Governors...”
I’d be happy as a pig in mud to see Jay Inslee be the first one. And Judge Robart right along with him.
So this Judge thinks that invading Russian paratroopers would have constitutional rights the instant they touched ground?
It’s time to make it known there is a cost for judicial activism.
Robart and this guy need to be retired.
Sessions was a Senator for twenty years. By that time one has essentially been rendered a political eunuch.
Yea, but an activist, liberal judge in Miami Dade, who woulda thought :)
I wish Congress would pass a law that every judicial decision that something is unconstitutional, SHALL REQUIRE the judge to cite the provision of the constitution and write a direct and concise statement saying why the action violates that particular Constitutional provision.
A lot more decisions would be shown to be ridiculous on the face of it.
>They are not legal citizens of the US. They have no rights under our laws. This shit is bonkers!
No, it’s sedition. The judge needs to be ignored or arrested.
