In a viral post on social media, a prominent conservative influencer took to social media to celebrate the arrest of multiple corrupt judges for violating federal law to protect illegal immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
For context, Democrat judge Jose “Joel” Cano was forced to resign after ICE discovered a Tren de Aragua Gang member in his residence. Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an illegal immigrant and suspected TdA member, was arrested at the judge’s home and charged with the unlawful possession of a firearm, which carries a possible 15-year sentence.
Likewise, the FBI arrested far-left Judge Hannah Dugan for aiding illegal immigrants. According to the bureau, she misled federal agents as to the location of an illegal immigrant set to be charged in her courthouse.
In any case, a prominent conservative commentator on X wrote on April 25, 2025, to thank FBI Director Kash Patel for his actions. He said, “🚨 RADICAL JUDGES ARRESTED. Judge Joel Cano – Arrested with his wife in New Mexico for harboring gang members. Judge Hannah Dugan – Arrested in Milwaukee for helping illegal alien evade arrest. If you were LOUD about the lack of arrests, you better be LOUD now! Well Done Kash!”
In the comments under this post, conservatives expressed their disgust with activist judges. One such comment said, “I’m looking forward to a collection of mug shots over the next 90 days like nobody’s ever seen before, they were hell-bent on getting a mug shot of Donald Trump and so we should do exactly the same thing to them, maybe one day they can put it up in their office like he did.”
Thankful for the good news, one user wrote, “Great day for law and order. Hopefully the Federal judiciary will make an example of these judges and afford them some well earned jail time. Judges like policeman are and must be held to a higher standard so as to maintain the trust/respect of the people.”
As we reported, Attorney General Pam Bondi slammed Judge Hannah Dugan for allowing a violent criminal to escape justice. Bondi explained, “This was truly horrific. This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beaten up two people, a guy and a girl, beat the guy, hit the guy 30 times, knocked him to the ground, choked him, beat up a woman so badly they both had to go to the hospital.”

Explaining the gravity of the case, she explained how Judge Hannah Dugan abused her position. Bondi continued, “She comes back in the courtroom. You’re not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers, takes them out of a private exit, and tells them to leave, while a state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.”
Concluding her remarks, Pam Bondi slammed judges who try to defy the law. She stated, “Some of these judges think they’re above the law. They are not. We’re sending a very strong message today: if you are harboring a fugitive, if you’re helping hide one, if you’re giving a TdA member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and prosecute you. We’ll find you.”
