      I think it’s more that they don’t know what the fuck to do in this unprecedented situation and just defaulted to submitting to the “higher” authority.

      At the end of the day, they were probably just thinking of themselves and not wanting to be arrested.

      Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of cops aren’t happy about Trump pardoning everyone for assaulting the Capitol police, and violating everything they’ve been trained on how they need to do things in terms of “arresting” immigrants using ICE. She’s in Wisconsin, so maybe you’re right, but I still feel like her directly upholding the law using the position she has to tell bailiffs what to do would have been a better play. If they want to ignore direct orders from a judge, at least let’s get that out there, and then we can figure out what to do at that point.

      The truth is I’m just doing armchair analysis when I have no idea of the situation. That’s how I see it though.
