In my state judges and prosecutors have absolute immunity to acts done in the scope of their employment.
An act such as this might be so egregious as to fall outside the scope, doubtful though. Would have to prove the prosecutor and judge knew the grounds alleged in the warrant were false or obviously lacking in probable cause.
There was a sworn warrant application from an officer and it was signed off by a prosecutor and judge.
Good, so we know who all the defendants are!

That’s unfortunate, is getting disbarred even an option in this case?
