Summary
Federal Judge Joseph Goodwin, appointed by Bill Clinton, has been criticized for releasing some of the 650 illegal immigrants arrested by ICE in “Operation Country Roads.” Goodwin has rebuked ICE agents’ use of masks and warrant-free arrests, characterizing their behavior as an “assault on the constitutional order.” Rep.

The White House has also weighed in, defending ICE officers’ use of masks to protect themselves and their families from retaliation.
