Judges Are Slowing Down Trump’s Fascist Deportation Regime. Now He’s Arresting Them For It.
The FBI arrested a sitting judge in a Milwaukee County court in Wisconsin on Friday, claiming that she obstructed immigration enforcement agents from detaining an undocumented immigrant in her courtroom.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest is not only the latest escalation in Donald Trump’s fascist deportation program, it also marks the administration’s eagerness to take aim at any and all constraints on its power to act.
“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse,” FBI director Kash Patel in a post on X. Patel added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents “chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since.”
In the absence of opposition party challenges and disempowered labor, courts are one of the few sites of meaningful pushback on Trump’s agenda.

Less and less land of the free, more and more home of the brave.
It’s over boys. It’s second amendment or nothing now.
I keep seeing this narrative that trump has threatened to invade Canada, but I can’t find a single source on that.
Edit: apparently the people of lemmy are only concerned about misinformation that doesn’t fit their personal narrative. By accepting any misinformation at all, this leaves you open to further manipulation. You’re pittiable creatures and just as dangerous as those you oppose.
“Can you say you wont use military force to obtain greenland, canada, and panama?” Trump-“no”. Magats will tell you hes trolling but the leader of the largest military on earth claiming he would use military force to take over other countries is concerning.
That isn’t what was said, wtf? You added Canada in there. You clowns are full on hysterical. You’re exactly the same as right wing looney tunes. Idk why ya’ll are so dead set on spreading misinformation and made up bullshit when there is plenty of actual problems and critiques of this man and his administration. Fully through the looking glass here.
When asked if the leader of the greatest military force on the planet would use said military to take over other countries he said yes. Multiple times. He’s said he’s serious about taking Canada one way or another. The only clown is people that believe a word he says. This isn’t even a right vs left thing. You wrongly labelled me a leftist. I’m a registered Republican. Always have been. Trump is a liar who does not stand for American ideals, the constitution, or our allies. It should never even be insinuated that military force be used on our allies. That’s the difference between us. You excuse this behavior. I don’t.
Because the press is complicit, they are intentionally avoiding that word. They usually say something like “annex” or something similarly soft and benign.
Except that’s not what’s being discussed. Attempting to forcefully “annex” a sovereign country already has a name, and that’s “invasion.”
It isn’t implied at all. Even the Wikipedia page states he specifically ruled out military force. This is hysterics and misinformation. He does enough bullshit that people don’t need to make shit up. The media frequently reports what he says verbatim, and he often makes statements on the internet that are forever. At no point has he threatened an invasion of Canada.
Trump wouldn’t rule out using military or economic force to take over the Panama Canal or Greenland. If you think that excludes Canada, you’re a pedantic fool.
