Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

The Trump Administration just arrested a sitting judge. This is what happens in authoritarian countries. Stand up now—or lose the power to do so later. The administration must drop all charges and respect separation of powers

The FBI is arresting Judges now? In Milwaukee, Judge Hannah Dugan reportedly used her chambers to shield someone from being taken by ICE. Multiple witnesses say ICE showed up to the courtroom without a warrant, and it’s still unclear if they ever had one.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) "The FBI cannot be allowed to arrest a judge because she won’t assist President Trump in carrying out his illegal deportation agenda. This is a gross violation of the power of the executive."

Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin all arrested judges, too

Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble

Senator Tammy Baldwin's @baldwin.senate.gov statement on the arrest of Judge Dugan (posted elsewhere):

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

HAPPENING NOW: A HUGE crowd of protesters have gathered outside a Milwaukee courthouse to support Judge Hannah Dugan after her arrest earlier today

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have now gathered outside a federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee to support Judge Hannah Dugan

This — the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest today of a sitting judge — against the backdrop that the President of the United States is, at this same moment, defying an April 10 Order of the Supreme Court of the United States

Wisdom @judgeluttig.bsky.social As he points out in this essential thread, the arrest of Judge Dugan is a spectacle -- but not one that will hold up in court

LIVE: Protest Erupts After Arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan | Minneapolis, MN - Mercado Media Today, the Hands OFF! Coalition is leading an emergency protest at the Minneapolis Federal Courthouse after the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan. www.youtube.com/live/rlllV6D...

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

A retired judge says #TrumpRegime arrest of Judge Dugan is “excessive” and “chilling,” warning it escalates his war on the judiciary. FBI nabbed Dugan over claims she helped an immigrant evade ICE—but legal experts say the feds had other options. Now judges who resist Trump’s agenda may be targets.

•••••MEASLES ALERT••••• Nationwide, the number of measles cases in 2025 has risen to 884. While this number is pulled from new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health professionals consider it an undercount. States have experienced…

WTF?? #USDemocracy

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

So this is where we are now? This nation was founded on checks and balances. The Trump regime is deliberately trying to undercut these founding principles as it unleashes an authoritarian power grab.

Breaking: The FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan. She is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the individual from arrest. (CNN.) Checks and balances are gone. The Rubicon has been crossed. Fascism, here we come.

First, Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Now, his FBI arrested a judge. This administration is threatening our country’s judicial system. This rings serious alarm bells.

Other Governors of both parties should be supporting this statement. And, yoohoo, Senators and Congresspeople , where are you?? 👇👇👇👇👇👇

An emergency protest action is happening now in Milwaukee over the arrest of Judge Dugan. #Resist ✊
