        If it’s true. These could be manufactured charges. I don’t trust Patel or the Trump administration to be honest about that.

        Patel in his tweet wrote that the FBI believes Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away” from Ruiz as agents were attempting to arrest him at her courthouse.

        “Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public,” Patel said in the post.

        And they all clapped at the end.

            That’s if they give the judge due process, and don’t just immediately claim she’s guilty- kinda like they’re doing to people they’re deporting already. Not a stretch to just skip her due process at this point.

                How? They’re taking people with no due process and deporting them already. Why would her being a judge make her position any different, if they are skipping due process again? This administration has shown that they don’t care about due process- they just make an accusation, and then go straight to “guilty until proven innocent.”

                    Your point is undermined by the fact that some of the people being rounded up are native, US-born citizens. Which means there is not really any leap to make here.

                And we can ignore the clear pattern of behavior this admin has already shown so far, but that doesn’t make what they are doing any less real; what’s your point?
