Pam Bondi Hints At More Judge Arrests In Bone-Chilling Interview: ‘We Will Find You’

“We don’t care who you are,” the attorney general said on Fox News.

Attorney General Pam Bondi hinted at hunting down more judges hours after a Wisconsin judge was arrested for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.

“What’s happened to our judiciary is beyond me,” Bondi said Friday on Fox News, calling judges like the arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan “deranged.”

“We’re sending a very strong message today,” she continued. “If you are harboring a fugitive, we don’t care who you are. If you are helping hide one, if you are giving a [gang] member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you, and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

Bondi declares war on the courts: “What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me … they are deranged … we are sending a very strong message today … we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

Friday’s arrest stems from an April 18 incident in which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers entered Dugan’s courthouse with a warrant to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who was in court for three misdemeanor counts in connection with a March 12 fight.

FBI Director Kash Patel claimed in a statement Friday that Dugan helped Flores-Ruiz evade arrest.

“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject ― an illegal alien ― to evade arrest,” Patel posted on social media.

Dugan’s attorney, Craig Mastantuono, said at a hearing Friday that she “wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest,” which was “not made in the interest of public safety.”

In response to the arrest, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) said it’s important that judges can make decisions “impartially without fear or favor.”

This is only the latest instance of the Trump administration taking aim at the judicial system. Last month, he called for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against the legality of one of Trump’s deportation flights.

“This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!” Trump wrote on social media in a statement so extreme that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked it.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

Trump’s administration also continues to refuse to comply with a Supreme Court ruling ordering the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison.
