ICE Has Started to Arrest Judges

[Meekly_Anna]

She says she has "judicial immunity" from prosecution. The SCOTUS and I said she doesn't. How do I know? I posted the reasons in post #219. Go and read it and send her the link.

In a functioning democracy, she actually does. In court, only the court has executive rights, and judges are free in their decisions.
Of course, judges are also subject to the law, but it is again the decision of a court that establishes a breach of the law.

If the judiciary is corrupt, we may have already lost the Republic.

This is a tried-and-tested and stupid excuse that is used time and again to establish a dictatorship.

The judiciary isn't corrupt.

We're

Trump said that anything done in official capacity is above the law.
All are equal under the law.

No, it has often been corrupt in the past, and the republic survived -- so long as everyone agreed judicial decisions were binding and the executive could not ignore them.

 

[butters]

She is an incompetent, politically oriented inferior court judge who consults her politics instead of the law. If she is smart about the law, why did she decide to break it? Why doesn't she know the law?

I took you off ignore momentarily to see what the others were responding to. It was pretty much as expected.

'Direct assault on the independence of the entire judicial system': Nearly 140 retired judges shred Trump DOJ for charging judge with ICE obstruction

Joining forces in an amicus brief filed Friday, the bipartisan collective of 138 judges — members of the group Defenders Democracy Fund — blasted Dugan’s arrest and prosecution as “an extraordinary and direct assault on the independence of the entire judicial system,” echoing statements made by Dugan in a new motion to dismiss her case that she filed last week.

“This case directly threatens the ability of all judges to do their jobs without fear of retaliatory prosecution,” the brief charges. “As judges with an obligation to preserve the integrity of the judiciary, we believe our perspective on the historical and legal underpinnings of judicial immunity will materially assist the court in navigating the significant constitutional questions presented by this case.”

“In practice, the Department of Justice is effectively requiring state court judges, in running their courtrooms and otherwise discharging their judicial responsibilities, to prioritize the interests of federal law enforcement above all else or risk federal prosecution,” the amicus brief says. “In other words, the federal government seeks to use criminal statutes — here, obstruction and concealment — as a means of compelling state court officials to prioritize the interest of federal officers, whenever they appear, over the parties, witnesses, and victims in the case and above the requirements of the state law to be applied.”

 

[Politruk]

That's an indefensible statement, fella.

They are the arms and legs of the same body that exploits others for profit. Each equally despicable and inseparable, no matter how you want to distinguish them in a court of law and the eyes of the public.

We generally use "human trafficking" to mean white slavery, involuntary prostitution. Anything coyotes might do along that line is incidental to their main business, which is sneaking voluntary immigrants across borders.

Court Rejects Judge Hannah Dugan’s Claim for Immunity for Diverting ICE Agents, Freeing Illegal Alien Criminal​

By Bob Unruh, WND • Jul. 8, 2025

(WND News Center)—A ruling from U.S. Magistrate Nancy Joseph in Wisconsin has rejected Judge Hannah Dugan’s claim for absolute immunity for her actions in stopping her own court hearing, diverting ICE agents away from the adjacent hallway, sending them on an errand and then escorting a criminal illegal alien out of the courthouse through a nonpublic jury door.

The decision from the case that charges Dugan with federal crimes said, “Judges are not immune from criminal prosecution for acts wholly outside their official roles as judges.”

She explains, “The indictment alleges Dugan violated two federal statutes, 18U.S.C. §§ 1071 and 1505, and cites the respective statutory language for both. Whether Dugan violated these statutes as the government accuses, or whether she was merely performing her judicial duties as Dugan asserts, these are questions for a jury that cannot be resolved on a motion to dismiss.

“I recommend Dugan’s motion to dismiss on Tenth Amendment grounds be denied.”

She's looking at a possible 6 years in prison and $350,000 in fines if convicted.

Good. This is what should happen.

Absolutely. I hope she gets the maximum sentence.

Judge Dugan thought she had absolute immunity “from criminal prosecution for acts wholly outside” her role as a judge. Incredibly stupid woman.

The second Trump leaves office on 20 January 2029, don't be shocked if Democrats retaliate by going after Trump allies and their ilk.
