We got our answer. Dugan is suspended.

My question is whether Judge Hannah Dugan will still be allowed to hear cases while the case against her plays out. Because if she gets suspended, that becomes a pretty convenient way for Trump to purge the entire judicial system of anyone who doesn't show fealty.

I keep hearing that charges were wrong. She is not bound by administrative warrants by ICE and she directed the man out of a door which went onto a public hallway.

ICE missed nabbing him.

How is she liable for anything?

well here's hoping they're not smart enough to notice the precedent

Matt, any idea whether this was discretionary?

As in, is there a rule from The Before Times when we assumed people would be acting in good faith that says any arrested judge has to be suspended?

It doesn’t really impact your overall point, but I’m curious.

WTF is wrong w us? We’re going to procedure ourselves right into fascist authoritarianism. Meanwhile the White House violates the Constitution and multiple federal laws hourly.

paleofuture.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely. This suspension would probably make sense in a normal era while the case plays out. But my fear is that this will become how Trump sidelines judges who don’t prove their loyalty.

Bingo! And now he knows it works

under investigation by a team of compulsive liars and fascists what could go wrong?

Reminds me of “sovereign citizens” who would file liens against judges to try to conflict them out of their cases.

That was my first thought as well. Trump basically is exactly what the SovCits want to be.

Have you seen the legal team stepping up to defend her https://www.rawstory.com/judge-hannah-dugan-defense/

NGL, I kinda love that she ran out of space on her sign for authoritarianism and just fuckin went with it.

paleofuture.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, but I’m more interested in the fact that this could be used by Trump to sideline so many judges who don’t demonstrate fealty. Her case could take years to play out. In the meantime, she’s no longer hearing cases.

As I understand it a temporary suspension is standard protocol.

avahope.bsky.social•2 days ago

So what are the next steps for her to be reinstated? This is not right.

This is how Dems can get ahead on the messaging: by naming the strategy behind the chaos. It’s not just about the headline—it’s also understanding & exposing the ripple effects. The secondary and tertiary consequences are where the authoritarian blueprint hides. That’s the terrain Dems need to own.

There’s a reason he didn’t go for a NY judge.

Disloyalty to the emperor

paul4692.bsky.social•2 days ago

She's charged with obstruction and concealing an individual because she warned the guy they were after ICE was there and there and told ICE "Get a warrant of fuck off."

But yeah, disloyalty to the emperor, basically.

snagglepuss66.bsky.social•2 days ago

those charges are preposterous. ice obstructed themselves with their incompetence. she didnt conceal him at all. and she had no authority over the guy who was with his attorney! what he did is on him, but ce looks like typical buffoons
