>the judge lied to the FBI

These were ICE "agents" with an administrative warrant. Nor did she "lie", she refused them entry to an operating courtroom -- which she was 100% right to do.

So nothing you said is accurate.

There is a 100% chance she will be completely exonerated, but of course this clown administration -- full of in-the-open criminals of the worst kind -- doesn't care about that, they just care about intimidation. Which is precisely why they brought up charges without a grand jury, which is basically unprecedented, because a grand jury would never have levied such a charge, and then arrested her in public with a perp walk with a photographer at the ready. And they know it won't stick. But because they're an administration of criminal garbage they just want to put the judiciary in its place, while supplicants and smooth-brains cheer them on.



Apologies, It was the FBI that arrested her, but may not have been to whom she lied; This is described as:

"Obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the US"

My understanding is that even in the case of an ICE agent, can also be a felony:

The agents are described by the FBI agents as "Agents from [DHS], [ICE ERO]" without scare-quotes - are you implying that they weren't legitimate agents? That said, FBI and CBP agents are also described as being present, so the distinction between ICE/FBI, and a judicial/administrative warrant seem unimportant.

> Nor did she "lie", she refused them entry to an operating courtroom

She appeared to co-operate (leading them away to talk to the Chief judge), while actually helping the subject evade arrest (returning and actually instructing them how to escape).

The first part, the deception, is what makes the lie rather than a mere upfront refusal.

> which she was 100% right to do

obstruct the agents? In which case they are right to arrest her.. I'm not sure what your angle here is.

> nothing you said is accurate.

Seems to me your own corrections are just as inaccurate. The above should clarify.
