 Sign The Petition: The Trump Administration just arrested a judge – speak out NOW >> The Trump Administration just arrested a sitting judge – Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. [1] These are the actions of a dictator. This isn’t just an arrest, it’s a blatant attack on judicial independence meant to send a chilling warning to every judge in the country. Here’s what’s happening: last week, federal agents wanted to arrest someone at a hearing before Judge Dugan. Judge Dugan said no, protecting the integrity of her courtroom and refusing to turn it into an ambush zone. [2] And in response, the FBI opened an investigation into her, and now has arrested her on charges that could send her to prison for years. But here’s what’s crystal clear – even under the Trump regime, standing up for due process and our Constitutional rights should be celebrated, not punished. SIGN THE PETITIONThis isn’t just about one judge. It’s about whether we still live in a democracy. Judges are meant to serve as an independent check on executive power – especially in a presidency as lawless as Trump’s second term has been. And in a healthy democracy, we don’t need to agree with every ruling – we debate, we appeal, we protest. But Trump and his cronies are turning that norm on its head, engaging in a clear pattern of targeting judges whose rulings and actions they don’t like. They’re trying to make an example of Judge Dugan. But, we can’t let this become the new normal – we need to speak out now and nip this authoritarian tactic in the bud. Add your name: We condemn the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan. This is not justice – it’s tyranny.
