Welcome to the News Hour. Today, an escalation in the Trump administration's battle with the judiciary and local authorities over the president's deportation agenda.

Friday to arrest Flores Ruiz that included ICE, FBI, DEA agents, and Flores Ruiz was at the

court for a misdemeanor battery charges tied to domestic abuse, so not for an immigration hearing.

And Judge Dugan told agents to talk to the chief judge.

She allowed the undocumented immigrant to exit through a jury door.
