Wisconsin judge’s arrest blasted by Democrats who previously claimed ‘no one is above the law’ in Trump cases

Published

on


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.»

Con menos tendencia «woke» y «más valores norteamericanos», Estados Unidos busca liderar la industria IA

Published

on


El gobierno de Donald Trump lanzó este miércoles un plan con el que busca colocar a Estados Unidos al frente del desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), a través de una reducción de regulaciones, el rechazo de tendencias «woke» y la promoción de «valores norteamericanos».

El jefe de la Casa Blanca consideró en su presentación que los avances en este campo tienen el potencial de transformar el equilibrio de poder global, por lo que para Washington es un imperativo de seguridad nacional lograr y mantener un dominio tecnológico global «indiscutible».

«Estados Unidos es el país que inició la carrera de la inteligencia artificial y como presidente de este país estoy aquí para decir que Estados Unidos la va a ganar. A partir de hoy, Estados Unidos tendrá como política hacer lo que sea necesario para liderar el mundo en inteligencia artificial«, indicó en una cumbre en Washington, reportó la agencia de noticias EFE.

La iniciativa identifica 90 políticas federales que pueden acelerar ese desarrollo y se basan en torno a tres pilares: agilizar la innovación, construir infraestructura estadounidense en la materia y un liderazgo a nivel diplomático y de seguridad.

«Estados Unidos necesita innovar con mayor rapidez y de forma más integral que sus competidores en el desarrollo y la distribución de nuevas tecnologías de IA en todos los campos, y desmantelar las barreras regulatorias innecesarias que impiden al sector privado hacerlo», indicó el documento que detalla ese programa.

La administración trumpista expuso entre las prioridades acabar con las «trabas burocráticas» que, aseguró, limitan al sector privado.

«La IA es demasiado importante como para sofocarla con burocracia en esta etapa inicial, ya sea a nivel estatal o federal», añadió el texto.

El gobierno nacional, además, continuó el documento, «no debe permitir que la financiación federal relacionada con la IA se destine a estados con regulaciones de IA engorrosas que desperdician estos fondos, pero tampoco debe interferir con el derecho de los estados a aprobar leyes prudentes que no restrinjan excesivamente la innovación».

Entre sus recomendaciones, recomendó revisar todas las investigaciones de la Comisión Federal de Comercio (FTC) iniciadas bajo la gestión de Joe Biden para garantizar que no promuevan teorías de responsabilidad que obstaculicen indebidamente la innovación.

Desde Washington también se constató que los sistemas de IA desempeñarán un papel fundamental en la educación, el trabajo y el consumo de medios.

«De ahora en adelante, el gobierno solo tratará con IA que busque la verdad, la justicia y una estricta imparcialidad. No vamos a pasar por la locura que hemos vivido durante los últimos cuatro años», dijo.

El plan apunta a que Estados Unidos cuente con modelos abiertos basados en los valores del país. «Los modelos de código abierto y de peso abierto podrían convertirse en estándares globales en algunas áreas de negocios y en la investigación académica a nivel mundial. Por ello, también tienen valor geo estratégico«, indicaron desde el Ejecutivo.

«Defenderemos nuestra nación, nuestros valores, nuestro futuro y nuestra libertad«, dijo en su intervención Trump, que abogó por permitir a la inteligencia artificial bucear en el conocimiento disponible sin atravesar complejas negociaciones contractuales.

Cuando se tiene algo que entra «en esa vasta máquina de inteligencia», según el mandatario, no se puede esperar «pagar cada vez» por ello. «Simplemente no funciona así. Por supuesto, no puedes copiar o plagiar un artículo», aclaró.

Según el plan de acción, hoy en día el obstáculo para aprovechar todo el potencial de la IA no es necesariamente la disponibilidad de modelos, herramientas o aplicaciones, sino más bien una adopción «limitada y lenta» de la IA, especialmente en organizaciones grandes y consolidadas.

El Ejecutivo se propuso ampliar la alfabetización y el desarrollo de habilidades en IA, evaluar de forma continua el impacto de la IA en el mercado laboral e implementar innovaciones para capacitar rápidamente a los trabajadores y ayudarlos a prosperar en una economía impulsada por esta herramienta.

«Ganar la carrera de la IA no es negociable. Estados Unidos debe seguir siendo la fuerza dominante», dijo en el documento el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, para quien los nuevos objetivos marcan el camino para que el país establezca «el patrón de oro» tecnológico al respecto y que el mundo «siga funcionando con tecnología estadounidense».

Jewish leader predicts violent future for NYC residents if Mamdani wins in November: ‘Real concern’

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A New York City Jewish leader is speaking out about the possibility of a Zohran Mamdani term as mayor of New York City, telling Fox News Digital he is concerned about the safety of Jewish residents, as well as all New Yorkers.

Scott Feltman, executive vice president of the One Israel Fund, told Fox News Digital that the Jewish community in the country’s largest city is «not against» a Muslim or any person of faith running for office, but what they do oppose is candidates that «align themselves with nefarious actors» like Hamas or Hezbollah. 

«He was just recorded at a local mosque where the Imam of that mosque has basically called for the death of IDF soldiers and praised the efforts of Hamas,» Feltman said. «So that’s what we’re opposed to, and it’s a very, very real serious concern.»

Feltman pointed to the rise of antisemitic attacks in recent years, particularly in New York City, which he says has «created a certain trepidation in the Jewish community and having this particular candidate now making such inroads» is a «real concern.»

Two Israeli embassy staffers were killed in Washington, D.C., earlier this year by a man shouting «free Palestine» around the same time that an Egyptian man targeted a pro-Israel demonstration, killing one person and injuring several others, in Boulder, Colorado.

«I know that every single day I fear for my own staff knowing that our organization has been called out by this candidate, and we have no idea, you know, who’s following him and what their interests and what their actions may be. So it is a real serious concern.»

Mamdani, along with actress Cynthia Nixon, called out the One Israel Fund earlier this month in a post Feltman responded to with an article in American Thinker.

«When you go out and you align yourselves with terminology like globalize the intifada, which is basically a euphemism for kill Jews all over the world, that’s what it is, the intifada was basically a movement in Israel 25 years ago to destroy the state of Israel and didn’t discriminate against civilian or military personnel,» Feltman told Fox News Digital.

«And when you want to globalize that, the messaging is very clear to the people who are listening and following and that has put many people in the Jewish community, if not all of us, on notice and has created the feeling of genuine concern. I’m concerned for New York City in general. It’s not just the Jewish community. His platform of defunding the police and basically offering all kinds of free things to people, which I don’t think he can even accomplish, even though he keeps doubling down on the rhetoric, but just defunding the police puts everyone here in jeopardy.»

Mamdani has been widely criticized for his initial failure to condemn the phrase «globalize the intifada», which many Jewish people view as a call for violence. Mamdani eventually walked back his initial reluctance by saying he discourages people from using the phrase and told business leaders he would not use it.

Feltman referred to Mamdani as a «social media darling» and complimented the way he has been able to mobilize voters but said, ultimately, while discussing his rise, that the education system has done a «tremendous injustice to our children, especially on the university level where we see antisemitism exploding exponentially.»

The United Nations’ highest court on Wednesday ruled that wealthy countries must comply with their commitments to curb fossil fuels and pollution or risk being held financially liable by nations hit the hardest by climate change.

The 15-member U.N. International Court of Justice said that treaties compel rich nations to curb global warming and that the countries were also responsible for the actions of companies under their jurisdiction or control, Reuters reported.

In response to the ruling, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital that «as always, President Trump and the entire Administration is committed to putting America first and prioritizing the interests of everyday Americans.»
