A recent ruling by a Vermont federal judge has sparked controversy by requiring the U.S. Border Patrol to obtain warrants before arresting undocumented immigrants, a practice currently authorized to be warrantless under federal law. Critics, including Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, argue that this decision undermines immigration enforcement and favors illegal aliens over American citizens. The judge's order also involves the release of a foreign national alleged to support Hamas, which some describe as a political attack on the Trump administration. The ruling has been labeled a "judicial coup" by commentators who believe it represents an overreach by the judiciary and a challenge to executive authority. Calls have been made for the Trump administration to disregard such judicial decisions and continue enforcing immigration laws without interruption. The controversy is further intensified by allegations that some judges are protecting individuals linked to criminal organizations and terrorist sympathizers.
