"While targeting a state judge for arrest for allegedly obstructing an attempt to detain a undocumented migrant doesn’t raise the same constitutional concerns as defying federal court judges, the highly unusual handling of the case shows how it is part of a broader campaign of intimidation and eroding the rule of law. It bears noting that President Trump is expected to sign a new executive order today targeting sanctuary cities."
"The arrest of a sitting state Judge Hannah Dugan outside of her courthouse was a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s two-pronged attack on the judiciary and sanctuary jurisdictions."
