一名由比尔·克林顿任命的联邦法官因持续下令释放美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）在”乡村道路行动”中逮捕的650名非法移民中的部分人员，正受到多方批评。
在引起公众关注的一起案件中，西弗吉尼亚州南区联邦法官约瑟夫·古德温（Joseph Goodwin）批准释放萨尔瓦多籍男子安德森·赫苏斯·乌尔基拉-拉莫斯（Anderson Jesus Urquilla-Ramos）。该男子的律师告诉彭博法律（Bloomberg Law），这一裁决”强化了移民执法必须在宪法范围内进行的原则”。
古德温在裁定中抨击了ICE特工佩戴口罩和无证逮捕行为，称”无菌的司法措辞无法公正反映正在发生的事情”。
据《西弗吉尼亚大都会新闻》（WVMetroNews）报道，古德温将国土安全部（DHS）的行为描述为”对宪法秩序的攻击”以及”第四修正案旨在防止的行为”，并允许进行人身保护令听证（habeas corpus），即被拘留者有权质疑其监禁合法性。

在释放尤里·阿罗卡（Yuri Aroca）和阿尔利·巴伦苏埃拉（Arley Valenzuela）的裁定中，古德温抨击了他们在西弗吉尼亚州派克附近（Pax）高速公路收费站因交通拦截被拘留的行为。
“我并非忽视移民执法的实际需求，包括州与联邦当局的合作，但宪法假定克制是合法权力的默认状态，”他在裁决中写道。
西弗吉尼亚州共和党众议员卡罗尔·米勒（Carol Miller）对这一情况毫不留情地回应
“如果古德温法官哪怕经历百分之一的移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工所遭受的威胁和骚扰，他可能就有勇气基于法律而非个人政治议程作出裁决，”米勒说。
“幸运的是，他和他的家人不必担心被极左分子‘扒皮式曝光’（doxxing）和危险，而我们的ICE特工就没这么幸运了。”
米勒表示，佩戴口罩是保护ICE特工免受伤害者攻击的必要措施，同时让他们的家人远离”持续恐吓我们城市的暴徒的瞄准线”。

“乡村道路行动”从北部查尔斯镇到南部贝克利地区共抓获数百名非法移民，其中许多案件都在以查尔斯顿为基地的西弗吉尼亚州南区法院审理范围内。
西弗吉尼亚州南区美国检察官摩尔·卡皮托（Moore Capito）在接受《福克斯新闻数字版》采访时为该州与联邦执法部门的合作辩护。
“西弗吉尼亚州南区拥有你能找到的最忠诚、最配合的执法伙伴，”卡皮托说。
“他们日复一日地奋战在前线，致力于保护我们的社区安全。我们的官员会采取预防措施保护自己和家人免受报复，就像司法机构成员每天依赖制度性保护一样。”
卡皮托表示，他的办公室将继续支持执法部门，同时回应多项请愿，补充称涉及已释放人员的案件”适合上诉”。
在其中一项裁定中，古德温写道：”没有任何具体危险被认定为需要这些特工在此次逮捕中佩戴口罩”，而白宫对此表述特别不满。
“由于当选民主党人的危险、不实抹黑，移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工面临的袭击事件增加了1300%，”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊（Abigail Jackson）对《福克斯新闻数字版》表示。
“ICE特工佩戴口罩是为了保护自己和家人不被‘扒皮式曝光’。他们英勇地执法并以最高专业水准保护美国社区。任何指责执法人员而非罪犯的行为，都是在为非法移民犯罪分子服务。”
奥巴马任命的法官艾琳·伯杰（Irene Berger）最近也削弱了卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）”MAHA”议程的核心原则，同样以类似逻辑下令释放一名在派克高速公路根特收费站被拘留的非公民大货车司机。
西弗吉尼亚州共和党众议员莱利·摩尔（Riley Moore）代表包括杰斐逊县在内的州北部地区，当地执法部门与ICE合作迅速将嫌疑人从街头清除，他与米勒观点一致，认为法官应理解特工面临的危险。
“ICE特工因执行职责被‘扒皮式曝光’，他们的家人也遭到极左分子攻击，”摩尔对《福克斯新闻数字版》表示。
“我们一次又一次看到暴力左翼分子的能力，我们的ICE特工绝不应遭受这种可怕待遇。”

摩尔称古德温的裁决”可耻”，并表示这将意识形态置于保护美国家庭之上。
“我感谢勇敢执行保卫美国职责的ICE特工，”他说。西弗吉尼亚州州长帕特里克·莫里西（Patrick Morrisey）表达了同样的情感。
“我们支持特朗普总统、美国司法部和美国检察官办公室，我们相信随着这些案件通过司法系统推进，法院将认定保护和保障联邦特工安全是符合宪法的，”莫里西告诉《福克斯新闻数字版》。
“我们也坚定支持ICE。执法人员的安全至关重要。”
莫里西表示，”扒皮式曝光”、针对性骚扰和暴力的威胁”非常真实”。
“显然需要保护这些执法人员，”他表示不同意法庭的态度。
“这些男女特工冒着生命危险执法，我们将永远与他们并肩作战。”
部分被释放人员将唐纳德·特朗普总统列为被告，暗示联邦政府将作为上诉方。其他人则起诉西弗吉尼亚州惩教官员克里斯托弗·梅森（Christopher Mason）、ICE主任托德·莱昂斯（Todd Lyons）和司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）。
当被问及这些案件及下一步措施时，司法部发言人对《福克斯新闻数字版》表示，对特工战术和口罩的担忧”已通过最近的加州法院案件得到重申”。
“禁止联邦特工佩戴防护口罩的法律违宪，”发言人说。
“司法部专注于法律与秩序、公共安全，不会容忍针对为保障美国人安全而不懈努力的执法人员的暴力行为——无论激进法官是否更愿意看到暴力非法罪犯逍遥法外。”

Federal judge releases multiple detainees from Operation Country Roads, sparking pushback from Republicans and White House

A Bill Clinton-appointed federal judge is among several drawing criticism for continuing to order the release of some of the 650 illegal immigrants arrested by ICE in Operation Country Roads.
In one case that drew public attention, Judge Joseph Goodwin of the Southern District of West Virginia granted the release of Salvadoran national Anderson Jesus Urquilla-Ramos, a decision the man’s attorney told Bloomberg Law “reinforces that immigration enforcement must operate within constitutional limits.”
In his order, Goodwin lashed out at ICE agents’ masks and warrant-free arrests, saying “antiseptic judicial rhetoric cannot do justice to what is happening.”
Goodwin characterized DHS’ behavior as an “assault on the constitutional order [and] what the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent,” according to WVMetroNews, and he permitted habeas corpus, a detained defendant’s ability to challenge his confinement.

In Goodwin’s order releasing Yuri Aroca and Arley Valenzuela, he lambasted their detention after a traffic stop along the West Virginia Turnpike near Pax, West Virginia.
“I am not blind to the practical demands of immigration enforcement, including cooperation between state and federal authorities, but the Constitution presupposed restraint as the default of lawful authority,” he wrote in his ruling.
Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.V., who represents the southern half of the state, did not hold back in her response to the situation.
“If Judge Goodwin experienced even 1% of the threats and harassment that ICE officers receive, he might have had the courage to make a ruling based on the law and not his personal political agenda,” Miller said.
“Thankfully, he, his family and his home are free from the fear of doxxing and danger coming from the radical leftists — our ICE agents are not as fortunate.”
Miller said masking protects ICE agents from those who want to harm them and keeps their families out of the “crosshairs of the mobs that continue to terrorize our cities.”

Operation Country Roads netted hundreds of illegal immigrants from Charles Town in the north to Beckley in the south, and many of the cases fall within the Charleston-based Southern District of West Virginia.
Moore Capito, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, defended the state’s partnership with federal law enforcement in comments to Fox News Digital.
“We in the Southern District of West Virginia have the most committed and cooperative law enforcement partners that you will find,” Capito said.
“Day after day, they are on the front lines working to keep our communities safe. Our officers take precautions to protect themselves and their families from retaliation, the same way members of the judiciary rely on institutional protections every day.”
Capito said his office will continue to support law enforcement while responding to several petitions, adding that the cases involving the now-released individuals are ripe for appeal.
In one of his orders, Goodwin wrote that “no specific danger has been identified that required these agents to be masked for this arrest,” a statement the White House took particular exception to.
“ICE officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them because of dangerous, untrue smears from elected Democrats,” spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.
“ICE officers wear masks to protect themselves and their families from being doxxed. ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities with the utmost professionalism. Anyone pointing the finger at law enforcement officers instead of the criminals is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”
An Obama-appointed judge, Irene Berger, who also recently blunted a key tenet of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “MAHA” agenda, ordered the similarly reasoned release of a noncitizen big rig driver detained at the Ghent Toll Plaza on the turnpike.
Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., who represents the northern half of the state, including Jefferson County, where local law enforcement collaborated with ICE to quickly remove suspects from the streets, agreed with Miller that judges should understand the dangers faced by agents.
“ICE agents are being doxxed, and their families are being attacked by radical leftists just for doing their jobs,” Moore told Fox News Digital.
“We’ve seen time and again what violent leftists are capable of, and our ICE agents should never be subjected to this terrible treatment.”

Moore called Goodwin’s ruling “shameful” and said it puts ideology above protecting American families.
“I am grateful to the brave ICE agents who are doing their duty to defend America,” he said. Gov. Patrick Morrisey shared the sentiment.
“We stand with President Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and we are confident that as these cases move through the justice system, the court will find that the protection and safety of federal agents is constitutional,” Morrisey told Fox News Digital.
“We also stand firmly with ICE. The safety of law enforcement officers is paramount.”
Morrisey said that threats of doxxing, targeted harassment and violence are “very real.”
“There is a clear need to protect those who serve,” he said, disagreeing with the tact from the bench.
“These men and women put themselves in harm’s way to enforce the law, and we will always stand alongside our fellow officers.”
Some released individuals named President Donald Trump as a defendant, signaling the federal government would be the party to appeal. Others listed West Virginia corrections official Christopher Mason, ICE Director Todd Lyons and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Asked about the cases and what next steps might be, a Justice Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that concerns over agents’ tactics and masking have been “reaffirmed” through a recent California court case.
“Laws banning federal agents from wearing protective masks are unconstitutional,” the spokesperson said.

“This Department of Justice is focused on law and order, public safety, and will not tolerate any violence directed toward law enforcement officials working tirelessly to keep Americans safe, despite the best efforts of activist judges who’d rather see violent illegal criminals walk free.”
