00:00We're having a very hard time with judges because they don't want people to be moved out of the country.
00:09Shockingly, nobody's ever had this before.
00:12Today, the FBI arrested a county judge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:17According to the FBI, this judge knew that Trump's immigration agents were outside her courtroom waiting to arrest a man who was before her court.
00:24They say she sent the immigration agents away from her hearing room and then escorted the man and his lawyer.
00:30Donald Trump's legal strategy these days.
00:33Simple, if you can't win, just whine louder.
00:37Every time a judge blocks one of his so-called brilliant policies, and by brilliant, we mean catastrophically terrible,
00:44Trump throws a tantrum bigger than his imaginary inauguration crowd.
00:48Lately, his favorite new hobby seems to be declaring war on judges like it's an Olympic event.
00:56Spoiler alert, he's losing.
00:58Bad.
00:59She herself arrested, brought before a federal court and then released today on her own recognizance.
01:05Her attorney says that the judge intends to defend herself vigorously.
01:09He says she looks forward to being exonerated.
01:12But stick around.
01:14This saga is getting pettier, messier, and more unintentionally hilarious than anything reality TV has ever dared to produce.
01:23Watching Trump go after judges is like watching a toddler pick a fight with a vending machine because it didn't cough up extra candy.
01:32There he goes, tiny fists of fury aimed at the very judicial system that keeps reminding him yet.
01:38Trump administration's now arresting judges because the FBI just arrested a Wisconsin judge for allegedly obstructing the arrest of an undocumented person in her courthouse by allegedly telling them where the exit door was.
01:48A move that many have described as authoritarian by Trump and a clear attempt to intimidate the courts into complying with his illegal actions.
01:54And this is you, the attorney general, saying to judges on Fox today, we will come after you and we will prosecute you.
01:59Yes, rules still exist in America, and no, they don't bend, just because he pouts hard enough.
02:07For Trump, courts were always supposed to be magical places where his whims got rubber stamped faster than his spray tan.
02:15Unfortunately for him, reality works a little differently.
02:20The courts still prefer things like laws and precedent over raw vibes and late night Twitter rants.
02:26Every time one of his policy masterpieces, whether it's the Muslim ban, the border war grift, or his desperate attempts to cling to power like a cat dangling from a ceiling fan, gets struck down, he reacts like a guy discovering Taco Bell isn't authentic Mexican food.
02:44And now he's taking it even further.
02:46This year, we've seen his administration escalate its war on the judiciary in unprecedented ways, including, believe it or not, arresting an officer of the court.
02:57That's right.
02:58Today's dramatic escalation in the Trump administration's conflict with judges, a protest getting underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this hour after FBI agents arrested a county circuit judge this morning.
03:12The Justice Department accusing Judge Hannah Dugan of helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week.
03:22This appears to be the first time the Trump administration has charged a sitting local official with obstructing immigration enforcement, at least that we know of.
03:32The Trump team has moved from ignoring due process to full-on targeting legal officials.
03:38Congress must act.
03:40Because no, the president may not arrest judges, just because they disagree with him.
03:46That's not law and order, that's a Banana Republic cosplay.
03:51In Trump's world, a ruling against him means one thing.
03:55The judge must be corrupt, evil, and probably part of a global cabal that plays ping-pong with George Soros on weekends.
04:02Totally normal.
04:04Judges trying to obstruct your efforts to make this country safer.
04:08What is your message to them?
04:11We are going to prosecute you and we are prosecuting you.
04:14I found out about this the day it happened.
04:17We could not believe actually that a...
04:19Stable thoughts from a guy who stores classified documents next to the ketchup packets at Mar-a-Lago.
04:26He honestly thinks the courts should run like his businesses.
04:30No accountability, infinite loopholes, and lots of yelling until someone gives up and lets him win.
04:36Imagine his horror upon learning that judges, gasp, read laws.
04:42Probably while wearing glasses.
04:45Truly terrifying, nerd behavior.
04:48Now, let's talk about Trump's immigration policies, which couldn't survive a stiff breeze in court.
04:55Remember family separation at the border?
04:57His dystopian take on deal or no deal.
05:02Shockingly, judges weren't on board with treating human beings like misrooted luggage.
05:07And then there was the infamous travel ban.
05:10Some other private crime, but of their job, like of judging, like something that is part of their work.
05:17Taking foreign bribes.
05:19Yeah, I can see that, right.
05:20Yeah, sure, a judge that also happens to be a murderer or whatever.
05:23Okay, right, but this is a judge, like, in the process of, we presume, judging work.
05:28So...
