"How do we know what's true about Kilmar Abrego Garcia?"
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE COURTS. We take his case to COURT, where there's SWORN TESTIMONY, EVIDENCE & JUDGE!
Trump brainwashed so many voters to be aware only of the court of public opinion & be oblivious to the court of LAW 🤦
It's a tragedy.

First, Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Now, his FBI arrested a judge.
This administration is threatening our country’s judicial system. This rings serious alarm bells.

This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate and impeach judges who won’t follow his dictates.
We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America.

Whether Judge Dugan did anything inappropriate depends on a bunch of details we don't know, but it's also sort of beside the point. The normal way to handle this would be a referral to a judicial conduct board, not sending a bunch of goons to physically arrest her & then publicly crowing about it.
