WHITEFISH BAY – State Senator Jodi Habush Sinykin (D-Whitefish Bay) issued the following statement regarding the FBI’s arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan:
“While all the facts are not yet known, one thing is clear: in this country, every individual — including Judge Dugan — has a fundamental right to due process.
“Unfortunately, this appears to be part of a broader pattern by the Trump administration: ignoring court orders — including those from the U.S. Supreme Court — and weaponizing the Justice Department and FBI in ways that undermine the rule of law and threaten our democracy.
“As this situation develops, I want to be clear: the Trump administration’s efforts to instill fear, silence dissent, and intimidate members of the judiciary are completely unacceptable and un-American. We must continue to uphold and defend the rule of law and the independence of our courts.”
