Bondi has now confirmed the arrest and went on Fox News defending this arrest saying no one is above the law.

I see problems for the Trump administration.
That said, is the judge still in the US, or have they shipped her off to El Salvador?

And now phase II starts. Arresting political opponents.
The step after is violent suppression of protests.

Does this mean a different judge issued a warrant to arrest this judge?

Other sources have reported that she wasn’t presented with an arrest warrant for the person in her court.
She has no legal obligation as a judge but definitely as a state judge to assist ICE in fulfilling their federal function which includes holding someone in her state court for federal arrest or preventing a non-detained person from their right to leave.
There is a legal definition of aid and abet. None of that applies to this situation. Again the judge, nor any citizen, has any responsibility to help ICE do their job. If they are disappointed with the effectiveness of their tactics, they should try firing the people who deployed them and doing a better job.
Even if she did violate the law here, which it’s fairly clear she did not, this isn’t near as bad as the time Kash Patel committed perjury during his confirmation hearing.
Hope that helps you. Remember keep that arm good and straight when you salute dear leader and “give out your heart”.

No one is above the law? Has she not noticed her boss? Or the January 6 insurrectionists? Or Mel Gibson? Or the cosmetic surgery fan in Vegas?

Simple rule-of-thumb to navigate information coming from the Trump regime - they lie.
Dollars to donuts what they claim happened here is false. More so given that the FBI director posted within hours of the event, before he could reasonably be expected to verify all the facts.

Likely no.
What they probably had was an administrative warrant from ICE, which isn’t signed by a judge.
Either way, state officials can’t be forced to help ICE. That would be commandeering and it was declared unconstitutional in a Supreme Court case written by known woke DEI Justice Scalia. 
If the DOJ is smart, they will quietly drop this prosecution and offer a private apology to the Judge.

I checked and Merrick thinks it’s all very reasonable.

Every time Blondi says “no one is above the law,” and she says it very often, I’m reminded that we’re in an Orwell tale. She’s moving right up on my list of orcs that I’d like to see just simply fall over dead from a stroke or something.
I really do hope that the Judiciary is having some quiet strategy conversations among themselves, as I hope is the senior military command in the Pentagon.

Article burying the lede:
President Donald Trump’s administration has repeatedly relied on tattoos to identify alleged gang members. ICE has been apparently relying on a scorecard — the “Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide” — to determine whether Venezuelan immigrants are eligible for deportation, ACLU lawyers have said. If migrants reach a score of eight points or higher, they are “validated as members” of the Tren de Aragua gang, the guide states. Tattoos are worth four points.
Apparently being a Michael Jordan fan or having a train, crown, star or clock tattoo counts as 50% towards being a Venezualan gangster.

Sports fandom is often a strong indicator of extremist politics.
For those who don’t want to patronize Faux News:
Good luck getting a deep blue Milwaukee-area jury to convict her. Showing a litigant in her court where the exit is located is not exactly a treasonous act. And having the FBI fascist and the DOJ fascist create theatrical media to try to make a CAUSE CELEBRE out of the molehill-into-mountain project (two felony charges) simply provides exhibits for her defense.
