Jonathan Turley Expertly Nails Slippery Slope | Political News

Since their marketing campaign to demagogue the Trump administration over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation case has gone nowhere, Democrats and their mainstream media comrades are on to the subsequent “scandal,” which was the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan.

Dugan, as RedState reported, was taken into custody final Friday after being accused of two U.S Code violations per the FBI charging doc: “Obstructing or impeding proceeding before a department or agency of the United States” and “Concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.”

Specifically, witnesses say the 65-year-old Dugan helped unlawful immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, 30, escape by means of a facet door, alongside together with his lawyer, on April 18th to evade ICE brokers who had been respectfully ready exterior the courtroom to arrest him after pre-trial proceedings associated to a home abuse case have been speculated to conclude.

Thanks to Dugan’s alleged actions, the pre-trial listening to, the place the defendants’ alleged victims have been in attendance, didn’t occur. Flores-Ruiz reportedly tried to flee however was later caught and arrested after a short foot chase. But when phrase acquired back to the FBI about what had allegedly transpired, they weren’t amused, which prompted the unfolding of occasions on Friday.

Democrats have been, of course, fast to hammer the Trump administration for supposedly crossing the “red line” with the arrest of Dugan, calling it “authoritarianism.” Some Wisconsin Democrats even went as far as to reward Dugan, suggesting others ought to be ready to reply the identical call Dugan allegedly did, whereas declaring that “Judge Dugan was in her right in doing what she did. She didn’t obstruct justice. She obstructed fascism in this case.”

Between that and woke Sawyer County (WI) Circuit Judge Monica Isham saying she is not going to permit ICE to arrest any unlawful immigrants in her courtroom and ship them to “concentration camps,” George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley had some ideas on the slippery slope nature of all of it:

What these politicians don’t clarify is the place the road ought to be drawn if judges can now actively help within the escape of fugitives or wished people. Could Dugan order courtroom officers to cover Flores-Ruiz? Could she put him in her trunk and drive him out of the courthouse?

Once you permit the bench to help in alleged illegality, you end up on a slippery slope.

This has occurred earlier than and, based on judges like Isham, it would occur again.

On Twitter/X, Turley went on to observe that Dugan “did not issue court orders or call a hearing to address the problem. Instead, she personally facilitated his escape from federal authorities.”

Every Democrat who has defended Dugan and who has slammed the Trump administration on this challenge ought to be required to reply questions just like the one Turley posed. How far is simply too far for these within the “Resistance” motion? Judges defying the Rule of Law? Apparently not. Domestic terrorism at Tesla dealerships? Apparently not. 

Is there even a line in any respect anymore for these people?
