FBI director says agents arrested judge for obstructing immigration operation

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday said federal agents arrested a Wisconsin judge on obstruction charges in a message Patel posted on X and later deleted. In the post, which Reuters saw before it was deleted, Patel said there was evidence of the judge "obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week."

A spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service said Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, was arrested at a courthouse this morning.

I have to admit, of all the shit things I've seen happening, arresting judges for following the law, is now in a battle with kidnapping people and sending them to camps for the top spot of my list of when do we violently riot.
- They had me and my pitchfork ready at making an autism registry, but it’s all intolerable
  
  Where does one even buy pitchforks these days? Tractor Supply Co.?
- Call me a cynic, but my over/under list is:
  When they come for you
  They come for a beloved member of your family (not the despised ones)
  ~~Some of your friends disappear~~
  ~~Mass deportation of "undesirables"~~
  ~~Opposition members get killed~~
  ~~Martial Law gets invoked~~
  ~~Judges get arrested~~
  ~~People sent to concentration camps~~
  ~~People incarcerated without due process~~
  ...and the remaining dozens (hundreds?) of "red flags" for the last year-and-something.

Cool. Arresting judges is a clear sign of a functioning democracy.
- Arresting judges for political reasons no less.
  
  You know how they're going to spin this. The playbook at this point is threadbare at best. "Sure, we arrested a judge, but here's a squirrel to distract you."
