Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal obstruction charges for allegedly assisting undocumented immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). She was arrested and indicted for concealing an individual from arrest and obstructing justice after she reportedly misled ICE agents during a court hearing. Dugan claimed judicial immunity protects her actions and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

…

 In her motion, Dugan’s legal team argues that the prosecution is “virtually unprecedented and entirely unconstitutional,” stating that judicial immunity prevents her prosecution for her courtroom actions.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s alleged connection to Qatar has drawn criticism as the Qatari government plans to gift President Donald Trump a luxury Boeing 747-8 for temporary use as Air Force One. Bondi previously lobbied Congress for Qatar, earning $115,000 a month in 2020. The situation has since fueled legal and ethical concerns regarding foreign gifts to U.S. officials.

…

Democratic pollster Matt McDermott said, “The DOJ memo approving Trump’s Qatari jet? Written by Pam Bondi. Her last job? Lobbying for Qatar.”

A confrontation at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in New Jersey may lead to criminal charges against several House Democrats. The incident has prompted an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into alleged assaults on ICE officers during a protest at the facility. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing after ignoring warnings to leave the premises.

I’ve watched the video of the “assaults”. It was the mayor and House representatives who were assaulted by ICE thugs outside the premises.

Miami Herald: ‘Unlawful’: Trump’s Mass Layoff Plan Suffers Blow

Posted on by

A federal judge has paused the Trump administration’s plans for mass layoffs and program closures for two weeks. The decision prevents two dozen agencies from proceeding with cuts deemed illegal without congressional approval. The pending “reductions in force” are part of the administration’s downsizing strategy and may affect hundreds of thousands of employees.

…

In her ruling, Judge Susan Illston of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California stated that the government’s attempts to lay off workers and shut down programs threaten essential services. She emphasized that reorganizing federal agencies requires congressional consultation and cannot be solely decided by the president.

Lawyers supporting the lawsuit submitted about 1,300 pages of sworn statements showing how federal cuts have harmed local services.

Miami Herald: ‘Lying to Him’: Greene Slams Trump White House

Posted on by
Reply

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized President Donald Trump’s advisers during an interview on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast. She claimed that some in Trump’s inner circle are misinforming him. Greene also expressed concern about Trump’s foreign policy, particularly regarding the potential for renewed conflict with Iran.

Greene questioned, “Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war? Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”

Greene noted during the interview that there are people “in the president’s ear” who are “lying to him,” but she did not specify who. Bannon challenged the notion of a divide between Trump and his base, prompting Greene to clarify that the true divide exists between Trump and establishment Republicans undermining his agenda.

I love it when these creeps feed on one another. It’s a dog-eat-dog world!
