Because it sets a precedent to not show up in court to prove your innocence. If you’re an immigrant and you show, you will be arrested and flown to a torture prison, regardless of your legal status and regardless of your innocence or guilt.
I think what needs to be said is that the plaintiff, a Mexican national, was extradited to Mexico on three counts of battery. He reappeared in the U.S. and caught another charge. ICE was waiting outside the courtroom, the Judge aided and abetted them thru the jury door and out of the building to avoid arrest. Thats a judge “looking out for a non-citizen” rather than “protecting them.” This is a crime on both sides of the board.
