For context, Judge Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, was arrested for allegedly helping a criminal evade immigration authorities. Despite her potentially illegal actions, Dugan has become a rallying point for liberals who seek to oppose Trump’s agenda.
In a clip which was posted to X on April 29, 2025, the AG said, “[In] this country. Don’t work with us if you don’t want to, and if you’re betraying our country, we’ll find out who you are and fire you just like we’ll prosecute judges who are obstructing justice.”
In the comments under her post, conservatives chimed in with their thoughts on rogue judges. One such comment read, ” Judges who obstruct justice and shield criminal illegal aliens aren’t heroes—they’re complicit. Bondi’s stance is clear: enforce the law or face consequences. The arrest of Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping a twice-deported felon evade ICE isn’t “overreach”—it’s accountability.”
Building on this point, the same user added that this issue is vital to a safe and prosperous nation. Continuing, the same comment read, “When courts become sanctuaries for lawbreakers, public safety collapses. The administration’s message is simple: no one is above the law, especially those sworn to uphold it.”
While the majority of the comments were positive, some liberals were triggered by Bondi’s remarks. One of these progressive commentators said, “She’s acting as an occupying force where the local population is expected to defer at every turn and follow all dictates of the new overlords. She’s bleeding attorneys because they don’t want to be associated with her weaponized DOJ. What does she consider “betrayal?””
As we reported, Bondi has made a series of remarks criticizing judges who defy federal laws. The attorney general said, ” Judge Cano, soon to be former Judge Cano, his charges were just unsealed. He’s charged with obstruction. He admitted post-Miranda. He took one of the TDA members’ cell phones, himself, took it, beat it with a hammer, destroyed it, and then walked the pieces to a city dumpster to dispose of it to protect him.”
Paiting a damning picture Bondi confirmed that Ortega-Lopez had been using his cell phone to share gruesome pictures. “He had on his cell phone pictures of two decapitated victims… and he was sending them out, and whoever he was sending them to was sending back, ‘Hey, you need to be careful. You shouldn’t be texting these photos out.”.

Laying out the case in an official press release, Bondi slammed the woke judges. The attorney general said, “The allegations against Judge Dugan and Judge Cano are serious: no one, least of all a judge, should obstruct law enforcement operations.” She continued, “Doing so imperils the safety of our law enforcement officers and undermines the rule of law. The Department of Justice will continue to follow the facts — no one is above the law.”
