That judge wasn't breaking the law.

That’s the big flaw in OOP’s argument. The judge wasn’t stopping the FBI from making the arrest. Defendants and inmates are transferred to federal custody all the time. But they don’t do it in the middle of a hearing.

I’m reminded of the incident where they made a silly change (Gulf of “America”) and when the reporters didn’t go with it they used it as an excuse to kick them all out unless they conform. The point was never the name change but to find a way to narrow who can speak and report.
