CNN - When the Trump Justice Department took the extraordinary step of arresting a local judge seven weeks ago, plenty feared what it could portend.
Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan’s case will play out in the weeks and months to come – she’s pleaded not guilty to obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant – but arresting judges and public officials isn’t something to undertake lightly. Critics warned of the chilling effect it could lead to and the precedent it would set.
Virtually nothing in the past seven weeks will have tempered those fears.
The fervor to arrest public officials who run afoul of the Trump administration doesn’t appear to be going away.
Since Dugan’s arrest:
- The Justice Department has criminally charged a big-city mayor and a Democratic congresswoman.
- A Republican congressman floated arresting 100 more judges who ruled against President Donald Trump.
- Trump earlier this week floated arresting Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
- And on Thursday alone, a Republican congressman advocated criminally charging three Democratic governors, while Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was handcuffed after interrupting a press conference from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Some in the MAGA movement are now pushing for Padilla to be charged, though there’s no indication he will be.
Almost all of these situations involved officials on the opposite political side of Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.

The only thing Padilla didn't do was hurl profanities at Noem when he entered the room.

Yes, I don’t remember Mr. Aaron Blake saying a word when a father sought by the FBI for daring to demonstrate against abortion clinics was taken out of his house in a predawn raid by agents dressed in armor, in front of his wife and children, and hogtied on the lawn in front of his neighbors. I don’t remember Mr. Aaron Blake saying a word when Trump’s key economic advisor was arrested at Reagan Airport, at the gate and in full view of other passengers, tied up in chains and carried out of the airport for some non-existent offense. I don’t remember a word from this clown or his cohorts when the lives and families of many of those who simply walked into the Capitol building at the invitation of the police and who were incarcerated with huge legal bills.
It’s the “no one is above the law (except us)” crowd.
Did he get his neck knelt on?
The RATs are spoiled children who have never been disciplined. And it seems to them to be cruel and unusual punishment.
You liberal leftists who are hell-bent on starting a revolution are enraged because Trump is taking it back faster FOR the people than you can take it away. THAT is why you are so angry. This is the very face of Satan, right in front of us. We are locked in a battle between good and evil and for the survival of this nation like never before. Wonder how many of the people actually realize that?
Yeah, me either. Completely silent when it happens to conservatives. They are digging that hole deeper...
Cry me a river. Padilla was acting, hoping to get attention for “the cause.” He acted in a threatening manner, did not identify himself, came charging up at Noem, shouting, acting like a domestic violence perp. He got what he deserved.
Democrats not only arrested President Trump and repeatedly indicted him on fake trumped up charges, they shot him and tried to assassinate him.
*********
Should be repeated often.
Ashli Babbitt did far less and was killed just for standing behind a glass door in the capital building.
Pushed to the ground and handcuffed is nothing. Padilla should have been tasered or preferably shot when he charged after Kristi Noem. No mercy should be given to these democrat scumbags and their CNN enablers.
So when our people speak and it looks like some crazy democrat is strong arming his way into the meeting OF COURSE WE THINK IT'S A CRAZY VIOLENT DEMOCRAT. AND OUR SECURITY PEOPLE TRY TO PROTECT US.
Padilla knows the history of violence by democrats against conservative - and he played on the bullsh*t evil democrats created... he does NOT deserved the pity party victim status he's wearing - it's a lie.
A lie like most things 'democrat'..
The Democrats have shown the country again and again how un American and un civilized they are . They are truly the face of evil . If they want to start this civil war they are gonna find out real fast they F@ked up!
A Senator behaving how he was told to do….it was all staged.
Dems don’t like it when their tactics are used on them.
Heck, I wish they had tased him first.
That’s EXACTLY what that means.
Did Padilla take off his pin before entering the room...?
If so, throw the book at him.
