‘Auditioning For Supreme Court’: Andy McCarthy Skewers Obama Judge For Bossing Around Trump Border Patrol Chief

Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy accused a federal judge of trying to “micromanage” immigration enforcement in the Chicago area to boost her chances of being nominated to a higher court on Thursday.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit stayed an order by U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis of the Northern District of Illinois, an Obama appointee, requiring Chief Border Patrol Agent Greg Bovino to meet with her daily after attorneys for anti-ICE rioters claimed United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) violated her order limiting riot-control tactics. McCarthy told “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade that most federal agents were on “the straight and narrow.”

“I think a lot of these Democratic-appointed district judges, Brian, are kind of auditioning for Supreme Court nominations in the next Democratic administration. So very little of what they do surprises me anymore,” McCarthy said. “But the bottom line is, a district judge is not allowed to micromanage how the police do their job on the street.”

“Our agents are very well trained. In my experience, every now and then you get a rogue agent who does something off the charts,” McCarthy continued, “By and large what I’m talking about, well over 90% of the cases, what ends up happening is cameras and filming these guys and all that sort of thing would do great credit to the job they do on the street. What you have out there is a lot of radical provocateurs who know what they’re doing and are trying to provoke the police into activity that they can spin as abusive.”
