If the US ever returns to sanity, she will be praised and honored for her action.

It’s still TBD if that ever actually happens.

may agree with her on the subject matter, I can't get behind this sort of thing. We can't have judges deciding which laws to uphold, that is the very thing that causes a breakdown of a working system, and it nullifies the power of the people we elect to write laws on our behalf. It is also a blatant violation of the oath that they take. This is a steep slope that we shouldn't be encouraging. The cure is in our elected representatives.

did the right thing. Rules, pesky things.
They had no arrest warrant.
You got it wrong.
She did the right thing.

not Harriet Tubman, they are bound to follow the laws as written. Firstly, a warrant is not required in order to arrest someone. Regardless there was a valid and active immigration warrant issued for this guy. Also, rules may be pesky at times, but they have to be there for good reason. No one is above the law.
In addition, this guy was deported once already and snuck back in a second time. This is illegal.
At the time, this guy was in court for beating someone to a pulp over loud music, and the judge, knowing federal agents were in the building to collect him (on an active warrant), adjourned his court hearing without even telling the prosecutors so she could sneak him out of a side door and evade the federal agents.
This judge broke the law, and we simply can't promote that. That is, unless you think we will regain control of the country and keep it that way forever. We have laws for a reason, and we elect people to do that on our behalf. Judges don't get to decide that. Just because we may like the outcome, it's reckless and destructive to support and promote such actions.
Facts matter.
You got it wrong.
She did the wrong thing(s)

First, state and municipal courts are not obligated to assist ICE. They are not part of the federal system.

Second, each jurisdiction in the country has its own laws regarding where ICE is permitted to pick up people for any immigration violations. Most of them forbid ICE from picking up immigrants inside a courtroom. The reason for that is that it can interfere with court actions in process, e.g. when the immigrant is testifying as a witness to a crime. Judges must be permitted to carry out their duties and the legal processes within their courts, without outside disruption and obstruction during a hearing or trial. So, it was ICE that was breaking the law, not the court justice.

Third, there are places within a courthouse building where ICE can pick up immigrants for detention -- OUTSIDE of the courtroom, e.g. in the hall, in another room of the courthouse, so long as they are not disrupting or obstructing the court's ability to carry out justice. So, for example, if an immigrant is waiting outside the courtroom to be called as the state's witness to a crime and ICE picks up him/her and removes them, the trial is jeopardized without the ability to get the witness' testimony. That puts the community at risk if it results in a criminal not being convicted.

Fourth, the justice in this case did NOT hide the immigrant from ICE. She showed him another door to exit from the courtroom into another room within the courthouse. The immigrant was picked up by ICE outside of the courtroom instead of inside of it, so there was no justification for arresting the justice.

The federal government is overriding the state and local court systems, thereby obstructing state and local laws. This is just practice to get Americans accustomed to people being picked up anywhere at any time for any reason -- without a hearing, representation, or notification of friends or relatives. The general public is being conditioned to think, "Oh, it's an illegal immigrant, so they don't have rights." But, in fact, according to the Constitution, they do have rights. They have the right to a hearing to have their case heard and the right to contact an attorney to represent them. There are groups of immigration attorneys, usually associate with churches, who will take pro bono cases to help immigrants navigate the legal system.

Once Americans get accustomed to the idea of "the other" being disappeared without notice or rights, the next move on this slippery slope is to target American citizens in the same way -- for political reasons, racial or ethnic reasons, or to silence members of the press.

""First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did nothing...
...then they came for me, but there was no one left to help me."

Push back and keep on pushing. Don't let us slide down this slippery slope.

not allowed to engage with facts on these matters, let alone opinions. Dissenting information is removed via alerts and there is no recourse. All that is allowed here is to silently roll my eyes when I read these things and then move on.

The GOP lets them do everything and GOP donors pay your family’s tuition, mortgages and even buy you an RV!

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines in Erich Maria Remarque's great anti-war (WW-1) novel All Quiet on the Western Front:

"The wisest were just poor and simple people. They knew the war to be a misfortune, whereas those who were better off, and should have been able to see more clearly what the consequences would be, were beside themselves with joy.

Katczinsky said that was a result of their upbringing. It made them stupid. And what Kat said, he had thought about."

All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque

Stupid, stupid Repubs. Besides themselves with joy .. cheering for the desolution of our democracy. But what the hell .. their cult leader thinks that Purple Hearts are cool.

Folks, we are totally fucked.

As I indicated earlier, Trump will be crowing and posting about this by noon tomorrow, calling her all sorts of names and the usual lies, etc
He will also brag up that jackwagon Patel, and blast the FBI under Biden

Thats his MO

Even those who had done violence to police officers?

now we are fighting FASCISM - yes, Dems need to stop doing business as usual start acting like real FOES

Despite his minority status he was able to bring the senate to a halt and pulled maneuver after maneuver out of his magic hat. WTF can't the Dems? Is it defeatism, apathy, laziness, what? Yes, we know arresting a judge is beyond the line --- what are we going to do about it for heaven's sakes???

We actually have facts and truth on our side, yet we go nowhere.

We all need to really think about what we are not doing or what we are doing wrong.

We need to use their own right-wing Republican tactics against them for a start. Forget this "high road" and "we don't want to be like them" nonsense. This is war.

Their whole business model is telling a certain percentage of our society (the gullible rubes, racists, bigots, etc.) what they want to hear (positive reinforcement from a blonde on the TV). Therefore they watch again and again. And again. Eventually they begin to see (gleefully) and accept this behavior as normal and anyone that questions it as abnormal.

Krasnov, TSF, could care less. He's participating in the ultimate reality TV show. Ratings, ratings, ratings are all that matter. Even on this website most threads are about him. He could care less. He's special. He could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue blah blah blah. The CIA and the NSA most likely have so much traitorous and treasonous info on this consummate asshole it would sink a fucking ship. What do we hear from them... huh? Anything? So, all the untold billions of dollars spent funding them amounts to absolutely nothing. You want waste, fraud and abuse? Start with them. They get to have fun playing their 'cat and mouse' games.

None of this shit is about making America great again. When were we great? When were we not great? We actually have a quite sordid past if you take 5 fucking minutes to read anything about it. So what. We're always a work in progress (you know, 'in order to form a more perfect union'). Eventually, we get a few things right. And then again. And then again. But, then we get billionaires who want for nothing and need nothing. Except power. Their purchasing power is excited by nothing. Except when it comes to purchasing people. You know, judges, politicians, et al. To them, that shit is ultra exciting. Doing good for society, what a fucking joke. What a fucking laugh! Are you fucking kidding me!? They have the attitude of they'd rather be feared than liked and respected. Why, you ask? The answer is simple... Power. Their warped power fantasies. That's it. But, all they are really accomplishing is creating thousands and thousands of Luigi Mangione's. And then thousands more. This planet is finite and there is ultimately, no place for them to hide.

... we got that's what we'll use.

and he might even send it!

Neighborhood.

"Said Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio): "They arrested a judge?! They can no longer claim to be a party of law and order. This will have to be a red line for congressional Republicans. Unbelievable."

Earth to Greg, they have no red lines.

They better dump him while they still can. It's choice time: him, or congress.

The republican ones that is.

We're going to end up fighting in the streets for our survival.

He was in her court for pre-trial on the charges that they say were the reason for the arrest. Those were state charges that were in the trial process. Somebodys in trouble and it isn't the Judge.

Ice admits to be staking out the court.

if it was in her court. I'd love to see the timeline and the actual actions taken. Did thy arrest her in court?

The problem with Trump's agenda is that it doesn't follow the rule of law, so Judges uniformly around the country are opposed to it.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden, district 3 in Wisconsin, won by less than 12K votes in 2024.
I hope his praise for this despicable action sinks him in 2026.

Outrage means nothing to them, it' s just an empty gesture they delight in laughing at.

and had appointed someone who actually wanted to preserve democracy as AG, we wouldn't be in this mess.

The wife of a Supreme Court Justice was involved and we didn't get shit in the way of law enforcement. All we got now is outrage and victimhood and that's not going to stop the Nazis, but it makes us feel better I guess.

Their intolerable acts.

We had the chance to put the real criminals in prison, and garland, et al. Shit their pants and decided playing nice with a felon was the wise move. Someone should arrest him if anyone.

Do us all a favor and end your misery, you goddamned fat fuck.

Jesus fucking Christ….

He even looks like a doll's plastic mold face.

This is getting too wierd for me.

Way to go Republicans, and they cheered.

2 can play at that game.
send wisconsin police to forcibly arrest him at his house and drag his ass back to wisconsin. after all laws dont have any meaning after all anyway.
....

Gee; I wonder why…?

..."President Trump's agenda..." is unconstitutional and illegal, so...

Judges tend to not like that.

The Republican offensive against the judiciary has been unsubtle, but the Trump administration hadn’t arrested a sitting judge — until now.

they are responsible for this shit show.......and they are responsible that they did not impeach him not once not twice when given the opportunity......and the US Supreme Court giving him immunity.......................the Victor Orban dictator playbook is being played out in real time ...............

Alternatively, you may phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

How about 47 sabotaging our democracy??? Just sayin'

But what about the 75 million that voted for Kamala and the 90 million who didn't vote. I'm not great at math but it looks like an overwhelming majority didn't vote for this shit.

I am a corporate lawyer but I do know basic federal criminal procedure. Judge Dugan was arrested on a magistrate warrant and the case had NOT been presented to a grand jury. Before this case can go to trial, this case has to be presented to and voted on by a grand jury. The arrest on Friday was a stunt to "whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy." One can arrest a suspect without a grand jury indictment but normally there has to be good reason for such arrest
