Hello John,
With the arrest Friday of Judge Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, on charges that she interfered with an arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump regime barrels towards authoritarianism and has officially declared war on not just the courts as an institution, but individual judges he does not agree with.
Join AFJ in stopping this unprecedented escalation and give what you can.
This unhinged administration is emboldened and relentless in their power grabs, determined to undermine judges’ authority just like they have essential government agencies they disagree with. This demolition of checks and balances must be stopped. Together we can stop this - it will take everyone. Will support AFJ with a gift?
Make no mistake: This administration’s intimidation and bullying of judges, its calculated strategy to weaken checks and balances through political theater, cannot and will not go unanswered. This Thursday, we’re joining dozens of organizations for a National Law Day of Action hosting events in over 40 cities to defend the rule of law, judicial independence, and the integrity of the legal profession. And we’ll keep showing up in the weeks, months, and years to come.
In solidarity,
Alliance for Justice
P.S. This is an unprecedented escalation, jeopardizing the separation of powers and the foundation of our democracy and must be stopped. Please support AFJ’s vital work with a generous gift today!
