First They Came … Now They Are Coming For!

The Trump regime has blown past arresting immigrants — they just arrested a federal immigration judge! The engine is warmed up and the fascism train is almost at full speed. Today, Trump’s FBI, led by Kash Patel, arrested Hanna Dugan, an immigration judge from Wisconsin. Throughout the country, ICE agents have been waiting outside her and other immigration courthouses, ready to arrest people as soon as they walked out, no matter what the judge decided. Judge Dugan knew this wasn’t legal, so she would tell the defendant in her courtroom to leave through a different door. So they arrested her for this.

If you think I’m overreacting, do me a quick favor before you respond. Take a moment and honestly ask yourself — how would you feel if Biden, Clinton, or Obama had arrested a federal judge for doing what she did? How would you react then? If your answer is different from how you’re thinking about it now, maybe it’s time to rethink your stance. This isn’t normal, and it’s not okay. What’s coming next? Who will they go after now? Get ready — because things seem to be heading in a very dangerous direction.

Based on the poem First They Came by Martin Niemöller - 1946

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
