Several Democrats who have argued that «no one is above the law» in President Donald Trump’s cases are now condemning the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, warning it could threaten the rule of law.

«This is not normal,» Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., tweeted of Dugan’s arrest by the FBI on proceeding obstruction charges for allegedly shielding an indicted Mexican migrant from ICE agents. 

«The administration’s arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law,» Klobuchar added, saying it’s a «grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances.»

During Trump’s 2019 impeachment, Klobuchar said his first impeachment case marked a «somber day for our country.»

«In America, no one is above the law, and the American people deserve to hear evidence and witness testimony during a full and fair trial in the Senate. If the president has any facts to present in his defense to the articles of impeachment, we should hear them,» she said.

After the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Klobuchar said, «The law is king, and the former president isn’t.»

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., also condemned Dugan’s arrest, saying, «If [FBI Director] Kash Patel and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them.

«This is stunning — we must stand up to this blatant power grab. Republicans: How is this not a red line for you?»

Commenting in 2020 on her vote to remove Trump from office over abuse of power allegations, Smith said she took her constitutional oath seriously and that «to condone corrupt behavior such as this undermines the core value that we stand for as a nation — that no one is above the law, including and most especially our president.»

Smith said she pored over presentations and evidence to reach that conclusion.

Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., who represents Dugan’s county, lambasted the White House, saying its «willingness to weaponize federal law enforcement is shocking and this arrest has all the hallmarks of overreach.»

«I will be following this case closely and facts will come out. However, I am very alarmed at the increasingly lawless actions of the Trump administration, and in particular ICE, who have been defying courts and acting with disregard for the Constitution.»

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., commented on an apparently deleted tweet from Patel, writing on X, «Donald Trump and JD Vance are arresting judges now. Deleting the tweet won’t undo the constitutional crisis you have just thrust us into.»

In a 2023 interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Khanna said of the Trump impeachment, «You can’t just say, ‘OK, because someone was president or someone is a candidate, that you’re above the law.’ Everyone is under the law, and that allegations, the evidence needs to be pursued.»

When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Khanna said of the contrast that Trump has «waged war on the judiciary» and that there is no public evidence yet regarding Dugan, but «it is deeply concerning given the administration’s attacks on the courts.»

«Even Chief Justice Roberts has rebuked Trump’s conduct toward the judiciary,» Khanna added.

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said norms were being violated on the immigration and legal fronts for Dugan’s arrest.

In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Pocan laid out the differences he sees between the Dugan and Trump cases: «Judge Dugan’s arrest is outrageous and a fear tactic to our independent judiciary. Trump has always thought he was above the law, but now he’s enabling his goons to push that limit as far as it can go. His reckless deportations and flaunting of the Constitution will fail,» Pocan said.

«This is stuff I expect from Third World countries,» he told Axios.

In a December 2019 statement after his vote in favor of impeachment, Pocan said Trump was «never held accountable for his actions» over his 70-plus years of life.

«Today, Democrats sent a clear signal to this president and all future presidents: No one is above the law.»

Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Klobuchar and Smith for comment.

Sen. John Ossoff of Georgia has become the latest Democrat in Congress to signal that President Donald Trump deserves to be impeached, even though he has only been in the White House this term for less than 100 days. 

During a town hall Friday in Cobb County, Georgia, Ossoff took questions from the audience, including from a fired-up local mother who questioned Ossoff about why there has not been a more concerted effort to impeach Trump. 

«Why are there no calls for impeachment?» Ossoff was asked. «Do something more!»

Ossoff told the woman at the top of his response that «there is no doubt» Trump has exceeded the standard for impeachment.

«I saw just 48 hours ago, [Trump] is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin,» Ossoff said. «There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense. And the reality is that that’s just one of many [examples] — defying a federal court order, for example. So, I agree with you.»

Ossoff’s remarks make him the latest Democratic lawmaker in Congress who has either explicitly called for Trump’s impeachment or signaled their willingness to support such a move just 100 days into his presidency. While most Democrats have been willing to publicly admit the country is facing a constitutional crisis under Trump, most of them have refrained from going so far as to use the «I» word.

Some though, such as progressive Sen. Al Green, D-Texas, have not shied away from supporting calls for impeachment. He was the first congressional lawmaker to call for it just weeks into the president’s second term. Green’s calls have been supported by other Democrats, such as Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Maxine Dexter of Oregon; Sam Liccardo and Maxine Waters of California; Ilhan Omar of Minnesota; Shri Thanedar of Michigan; and Hank Johnson of Georgia, all of whom have gone publicly on the record regarding their support, according to NBC News. 

«Right now, it’s 218 to 215, so if you can find me two Republicans, I’ll go to work tomorrow,» Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who led impeachment efforts against Trump during his first term, told a reporter when asked about the matter.

Trent England, a presidential elections expert and founder of the nonprofit Save Our States, bashed Democratic lawmakers for «claiming to be all about democracy,» but when they don’t get what they want, «suddenly democracy is not what they’re all about.»

«It really undercuts Democrats’ message about elections when as soon as they get an election result they don’t like, they’re out challenging it through impeachment. Especially when Democrats claimed after 2016 that part of their issue with Trump was that he only won the Electoral College,» England added. «Well, now he’s won a resounding popular vote, in addition to winning the Electoral College. And, yet, they’re still out there trying to impeach him at the very beginning of his administration.»

England also opined that the calls for impeachment were an easy way for Democrats to help boost their fundraising efforts. 

«Efforts like this show how a lot of members of Congress are really operating as personal fundraising machines, as opposed to legislators,» England said. «They’re not trying to get things done. They know that using platforms like Act Blue, they can fly the impeachment flag and raise a lot of money from left-wing donors without ever believing that any of this is going to have any effect.»

The first-term Democratic senator is facing re-election later this year, as his term ends early next year. Ossoff’s office declined to comment for this story.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott said Ossoff’s push for impeachment illustrates «the desperation of his re-election campaign.» 

«Not even 100 days into President Donald J. Trump’s terms, and Ossoff is already pushing impeachment,» Scott said. «His obsession makes clear just how out of touch he is with Georgia voters. The desperation in his re-election campaign is already showing.»
