I’m writing to express grave concern over the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. This action is an alarming escalation in the current administration’s ongoing assault on the independence of the judiciary. Targeting a sitting judge without clear and compelling cause sends a chilling message and threatens the foundation of our legal system. It is essential that members of Congress denounce this blatant abuse of power for what it is: a political takedown masquerading as law enforcement. I urge you to immediately call for transparency in this case, demand oversight hearings, and stand up publicly to defend the rule of law. The erosion of judicial independence is not theoretical — it is happening now, and silence is complicity.
