From what I've read, the jury door still led to a public hallway where at least one ICE agent was. There was enough evidence for a grand jury to indict her, but we'll see where trial leads (assuming it gets to that point). I wonder if the charge under 18 U.S.C. Section 1505 will hold up, as that supposedly was created in regards to business monopolies. 18 U.S. Code § 1071 seems more likely to stick.
Regardless of the merits of the case, I think one of the things that has some people upset is that the judge was arrested and cuffed by the FBI at the courthouse. Normal procedure would have been to have her notified and turn herself in, as happened in the case of Judge Shelley Joseph. Kash Patel's post about the arrest is also a bad look, and apparently went against FBI protocol. So, even if the judge is guilty, the way the case has been handled by law enforcement/the administration is being seen as poorly done.
No one involved in this looks good.
