I believe this is a wakeup call for the Supreme Court to finally arrest people in this administration!!! Trump will also be impeached very soon. The Supreme Court might have to use the military to arrest, If the U.S. Marshals don't do their job.We also need to arrest Pam Bondi ,Cash Patal, and Pete Hegseth . It's time they went a bridge to far.The Supreme Court won't allow their power to be taken away.Judge Amy has a couple of adopted children that aren't white, she won't put up with this.

Charles from Australia. Besides the fear and trauma of living in fear of arrest, then the actual arrest.

What happens to the property like home, car and person items of people that are arrested and deported? Do that locals grab that property for their gain? Treasures like family photo albums do they go in the rubbish?

Chilling effect? I think this only serves to piss off Americans even more than we are pissed off now. I think this administration severely underestimates the power of an angry citizenship and they are about to find out as united, we once again take to the streets, to the courthouses, to the government buildings, to the town halls, to the city centers, to the school campuses, to every state capital, to ICE detention centers, to Washington DC, to town parks, to wherever injustice has occurred...we will be there. The only chilling effect this administration is going to see is a self-inflicted economic disaster of epic proportions unless congress can stop them...

Trump picks situations like these for PR reasons. This draws liberals into defending a judge who is protecting an illegal immigrant spouse abuser.

One of the reasons they are hitting immigration so hard because it’s the ONLY area Donny’s not underwater in the polls. Just, FFS🤬

So, The Don speaks out of both sides of his mouth and mostly out of his ass. His diaper must be getting full and Stephen Miller needs to change it. Once again, my thesaurus has run out of words. Any judges or "other immigrant" obstructors of justice been ICED in any MAGA infested areas?

Meanwhile they want to give my 3 teenage daughters a medal if they will have a bunch of kids b/c the birth rate just keeps dropping….hmmm, let’s try you keep the immigrants who want to stay and are otherwise law-abiding here and my girls get to have however many kids they want without the f-ing insulting manipulations. And if you are going to manipulate at least provide something more substantive than a stupid 🏅

They may be trying to intimidate, but the public, from what I can see, is pissed. I've seen impromptu protests after this arrest in both Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Milwaukee was trying to prepare for this a couple of weeks ago when 2 or 3 people were nabbed by ICE in our courthouse. Our city council was putting a process in place for further ICE activity. Not sure where it got to, but Milwaukee...Wisconsin will fight.

Kind of sounds like what MBS did to the Washington Post journalist in Turkey, but without the murder.

There was a case like this in Boston.

From Politico:

"In 2018, Massachusetts state District Court Judge Shelley Joseph and a court officer were accused of helping an undocumented migrant sneak out of the Newton District Court in Newton, Massachusetts, before an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer could detain him. The man was arrested on narcotics charges and had been deported from the U.S. twice, prosecutors said at the time.

Joseph was later indicted by federal prosecutors on charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice and pleaded not guilty.

At the time Joseph was charged, then-state Attorney General Maura Healey, now the Democratic governor of Massachusetts, claimed it represented “a radical and politically motivated attack on our state and the independence of our courts.”

Joseph’s attorney at the time, Thomas Hoopes, accused then-U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Andrew Lelling of “political bias” in court documents — pointing to a Boston Herald op-ed he authored — and accusing him of leaking confidential information to the media.

Unlike the case Friday, however, Joseph surrendered to authorities. And federal prosecutors eventually dropped the charges against her in 2022. Joseph was instead referred to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct, a state agency charged with investigating allegations of misconduct among those admitted to the bench."

Late last year, the commission filed formal charges against Joseph with the state’s highest court, a surprisingly forceful step for a body that has only gone so far five other times since 2000.

Without knowing the details, I am pretty confident that this is going to turn out to be an outrage that should be protested and fought. BUT why is it happening now? Trump does outrageous things when he wants to wrest back control of the conversation. Is it the economy? The bad polling? Hegseth? Abrego Gracia? Any and all are possible. The very difficult thing is to figure out how to address new outrages without letting the old ones drop. Lots of complaints about Dems here, but I would hate to have to figure out how to do all of that.

Don't you think Trump sent minion Kash to arrest this particular judge in Wisconsin because he and Elon were pissed and embarrassed that Wisconsin voted in the Dem judge (Judge Crawford) to the open state Supreme Court position? Another retribution and scare and silencing tactic against the judiciary - performative as fuck.

This is a very good point, and seems quite likely.
