So, I have a question for anybody who knows the law *paging Mr. Reactionary*: If this woman had had the same rap sheet, but was a citizen, would the cops have arrested her if she had a warrant out for her arrest, but was making a call on a domestic abuse claim? If so, the law is kind of messed up regardless of how immigration plays into it.
Yes.
They didn't arrest this individual for reporting domestic abuse, they arrested the person after appearing in court asking for a TRO. If it was a different person doing the same thing with open warrants they would have arrested them upon leaving the court.
