    And thus, the Night of Long Knives begins.*

    Edit: The AP, as of 15 min ago has posted an update: “Dugan was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday morning on the courthouse grounds, according to U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson Brady McCarron. She appeared briefly in federal court in Milwaukee later Friday before being released from custody. Her next court appearance is May 15.”

    Thank goodness, she has been released- even if she is still going on trial for a trumped-up charge.

      accusation is:

      “intentionally misdirected federal agents away” from Eduardo Flores Ruiz as agents were attempting to arrest him at her courthouse last week.

      so this isn’t about her ruling against trump, but her directly protecting an individual from ice….

      so it’s not the long knives yet, she a hero, but it’s not the mass revenge murders… yet

        Actually it’s very indirect. The accusation implies that she told ICE agents “he’s over there!” and scattered like a cartoon distraction. In reality, she told them they had no jurisdiction in the court, and that they had to go talk to her boss.

        That’s not misdirection, that’s just normal workplace behavior. They don’t have jurisdiction in the courtroom, therefore they were not pursuing justice in the courtroom, therefore it can’t be obstruction of justice to tell them to fuck off.
