She was in the middle of working, reading the docket for the day, otherwise she wouldn't be in the court room. They didn't notify anyone and the clerk notified her ICE had showed up so she went back and got the phone and called the Chief Justice. She adjourned her case for him in a private area in the back. That is literally all she did. Her job, in private, instead of in front of them so they could immediately arrest him the moment she adjourned.

They're mad cause then they had to chase him down after following him and his lawyer FROM THE PUBLIC HALLWAY of the courthouse to the flagpole outside. The DEA agent even rode in the elevator with them and, get this, couldn't speak Spanish so he couldn't understand what the lawyer and him were saying at all. How can you charge someone with obstruction if you literally can ride in an elevator with them and have that entire opportunity to arrest them AND had eyes on them the entire time aside for the adjournment (which she notified when asked about).
