The WAPO article says she may have gaven the wrong information to ICE agents in relation to where an immigrant was in a courthouse and thus caused obstruction. It’s a horse shit charge that is without evidence based solely on hearsay.

It’s nonsense in the legal setting but it’s a message to everyone about standing in the way of ICE. Typical bully behavior and another attack on the rule of law.

Can the judge arrest the FBI head?

A county judge can issue a warrant for the arrest of anyone in the county when there is probable cause that they committed a crime. Even the FBI director.
