A "warrant" is, broadly, an order to do a particular thing. What that thing is depends on the type of warrant.
One common type of warrant is an arrest warrant, and not only can you be arrested if you're named on one, law enforcement officers are specifically ordered to arrest you if they see you.

∙ 14y agoUnder appropriate situations a judge can ORDER an arrest, but a judge is not a member of the Executive Branch of Government, They are members of the Judicial Branch. They are not law enforcement officers. They may interpret and apply the law, but they are not empowered to carry it out. That being said - judges have a lot of power and, realistically speaking, a 'citizens arrest 'by a judge carries much greater weight than that effected by a 'regular' civilian.
