Here is a news-style report drawing on the information we covered:
FBI Arrests Woke Judges, Santos Gets Near-Seven Year Sentence, Trump Reports Ukraine Deal Close!
It’s finally happening, folks. The FBI has started arresting judges for obstructing immigration enforcement. This isn’t just one instance; we’ve seen movement both in Wisconsin and Arizona.
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI today. According to FBI Director Cash Patel, Judge Dugan is accused of obstructing an immigration arrest. We’re told she misdirected federal agents away from Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented migrant, allowing him to initially get away. Thankfully, our agents chased down the individual on foot, and he is now in custody. Judge Dugan faces obstruction charges and has been released on bond. While she’s out for now, it’s expected she’ll lose her position on the bench. A preliminary hearing and arraignment are set for May 15th.
This follows another significant arrest: Judge Juan Canó was also arrested by the FBI in the past 24 hours. Canó and his wife were reportedly arrested by federal authorities after they allegedly harbored a TDA gang member at their home. He had previously stepped down from his position after a man linked to an alleged gang was found at his home. Apparently, there were reports suggesting Canó was setting up his daughter to date the “criminal alien”. New Mexico also recently passed a law allowing non-citizens to become cops, which is an interesting situation.
These judges seem to be part of a trend of what we’re calling “activist judges”. They don’t appear to have an “America first” ideology and seem more interested in being activists. We believe many more arrests are probably and should be on the way because these individuals are not above the law.
Moving on, the situation with George Santos has reached a conclusion, at least for now. Representative George Santos of New York was sentenced to 87 months this morning for felony fraud charges. That’s almost seven years in prison. Santos pleaded guilty to charges back in August and was expelled from the House in December. He had served Congress for close to a year before being ousted. The charges he faced included wire fraud, identity theft, falsification of records, and credit card fraud. U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Sebert reportedly asked Santos during his sentencing where his remorse was, noting it appeared he felt it was always someone else’s fault. While 87 months seems like a pretty harsh sentence, especially compared to others who seem to escape consequences, Santos is expected to arrive in federal prison by July 26th.
Finally, some potentially significant news on the international front. President Trump is reportedly getting quite tired of the ongoing situation in Ukraine and the leaders involved. He has stated that Crimea will stay with Russia. This is the latest sign of him pressuring Ukraine to make concessions to end the war while it remains under siege. Trump believes Ukrainian President Zelenskyy understands this, noting Crimea has been with Russia for a long time. Trump has suggested Zelenskyy is prolonging the war by resisting negotiations with Russian President Putin.
There are warnings from senior U.S. officials that the administration could potentially give up attempts to stop the war if the two sides don’t reach a settlement. This could mean a halt to crucial U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Frankly, many American taxpayers are tired of paying for this. Trump seems to just want it over and done with quickly.
Latest reports indicate that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is potentially “pretty close”. Trump mentioned that U.S. representatives were meeting with Putin literally as we speak. He hopes for good deals, including tariff and trade deals, as part of the outcome. While there’s no specific deadline, Trump just wants it as fast as possible. It seems Joe Biden’s promise of NATO membership for Zelenskyy was simply “outrageous” and isn’t going to happen. Hopefully, we can see this resolved soon.
That’s a wrap on these major updates. Things are moving, and we’re seeing some results. More to come.
