Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

There's speculation that ICE is ramping up even more in Baltimore.
With that in mind, and nothing but love for Charm City:
Baltimore is one of five cities where body cameras were distributed to ICE agents when it rolled out its body cam program.
Request that footage. Then go to Ekiben for me.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The arrests, assaults, incarceration, and killings of political opponents by ICE and the Trump Administration are not unintended consequences, they are policy.
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
