A Wisconsin judge threatens not to detain the court in protest of federal authorities’ arrest of her fellow judge. Hannah Dugan last week.
Judge Monica Isam made the announcement by email to state judges on Saturday. Her email entitled “Guide has been requested or I refuse to hold a court” revealed that she has no intention of collaborating with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I would refuse to hold a courthouse at Branch 2 in Sawyer County. I will not put my staff members who may feel compelled to help put me or my community at harm,” Isamu wrote.
“Both of the constitution we swore to need is not going to allow someone to be taken out of court on ice and sent to concentration camps without any particular legitimate procedures. Should we raise bail?” Isamu wrote, also referring to the Wisconsin constitution.
