The Democratic Party's moral compass has gone completely haywire. First, they rushed to defend an MS-13 gang member who beat his wife and is linked to human trafficking. That episode alone was quite damning, yet they haven’t learned their lesson, because now, they're championing judges who brazenly broke federal law.
The latest episode involves two judges who apparently thought their robes put them above the law. In Milwaukee, Judge Hannah Dugan faces felony charges for helping an illegal immigrant escape federal authorities. According to the criminal complaint, Dugan is charged with "obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest—actions that could land her in prison for up to six years. In New Mexico, another judge was arrested after ICE discovered a reported Tren de Aragua member living at his residence."
The response from Democrats? Pure hysteria.
The Democratic meltdown was immediate and fierce. Senator Amy Klobuchar rushed to declare the arrests "unprecedented," despite similar arrests occurring in 2019. MSNBC talking heads hyperventilated about "tyranny," while completely ignoring the actual crimes allegedly committed.
As troubling as their advocacy for illegal immigrant gang members and judges who break law is, it’s a political gift for the GOP. For years, Democrats have justified their lawfare strategy against Trump by adopting the catchphrase, "no one is above the law." Now, that catchphrase has become their own bear trap, because they're now arguing that certain judges should, in fact, be above the law.
Even CNN couldn’t ignore the blatant illegality of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s actions. Senior legal analyst Elie Honig emphasized the clear-cut nature of the offense, stating, “This is a crime,” and likening it to textbook obstruction.

David Urban further dismantled any sympathetic narratives, highlighting that the individual Judge Dugan assisted was not only in the country illegally, but also facing domestic violence charges. Urban pointed out that the judge’s deliberate decision to obstruct law enforcement aligns with the public’s demand for accountability, noting that 60% of Americans support deporting all illegal immigrants.
The pattern is undeniable. Democrats first exposed their true priorities by shamelessly defending an MS-13 gang member with a history of domestic violence. Now, they’re rallying behind judges who allegedly chose to obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts. And the most remarkable part? Every time, Trump’s team has skillfully baited them into positions that the overwhelming majority of Americans find utterly repugnant. It’s been nothing short of a masterclass in revealing just how warped the Democratic Party’s values have become.
While Democrats still love to preach about “law and order,” their actions tell a far different story—a story of a political movement increasingly willing to excuse criminal behavior whenever it suits their agenda. Defending violent gang members and law-breaking judges isn’t just a lapse in judgment; it’s a deliberate choice that shows Americans exactly where their priorities lie. The truth is, Democrats have confirmed what millions already suspected: their so-called commitment to the rule of law is conditional at best, and always subordinate to their political self-interest.
