White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday said that the President Donald Trump administration is open to arresting Supreme Court judges if they harbor illegal immigrants.
She stated this while addressing a question from Fox News’s Peter Doocy on the position of some judges regarding illegal migrants in the United States.
The reporter asked, “You guys arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit judge for allegedly helping illegal immigrants get away.
“As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?”
Responding to the question, the White House Press Secretary said, “Anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials from doing their jobs is putting theirselvses at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely.”
On the case of the Milwaukee County Circuit judge, Leavitt said the judge “obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse”.
She stressed that the judge “showed that illegal alien the door to evade law enforcement officials. That is a clear cut case of obstruction”
