Is the judge seeing cherry-picked images of clashes between agents and the public? If so, this falls under the axiom of a little knowledge being dangerous.
Chicago should pay for required equipment.
Since the story doesn’t mention it, Ellis was an Obama appointee and the other judge referenced in the story that stopped the Guard deployment was a Biden appointee.
You’re not blind “ judge “ , you’re a lib. Any attempt to thwart attacks upon ICE or defend themselves is an atrocity to you, while the people blocking traffic, throwing things with intent to harm at the agents and bringing guns to a “ peaceful protest “ are just fine and dandy.
It’s guaranteed that girl boss Sara Ellis has released violent thugs or given them light sentences, and now she’s startled?!?
She should resign if she’s this naive and is not street smart
These judges continue to embarrass and incriminate themselves with their dumb statements
Narrator:
Judge Ellis really is blind.
Any Judge that looks to the local news media for guidance on forming a serious opinion, shouldn’t be sitting on the bench.
