Judicial Mutiny: Monica Isham Pledges to Defy Law, Harbor Illegal Immigrants
In a brazen act of defiance, Sawyer County Circuit Court Judge Monica Isham has vowed to risk arrest rather than allow ICE to detain illegal immigrants in her courtroom, referring to federal detention centers as “concentration camps.” Her public statement—sent via email to judges across Wisconsin—includes a vow to shut down her courtroom entirely if federal agents attempt to enforce immigration law within her jurisdiction.
Isham, cloaked in progressive rhetoric, claims she’s “protecting her community,” but critics say she’s trampling the law and weaponizing the bench for radical political theater.
From Courtroom to Culture War
In response, journalist Drew Hernandez torched Isham’s actions as nothing short of an activist temper tantrum, accusing the judge of using her position to stage a woke rebellion against President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
“She acts like some kind of superhero in a cape,” Hernandez said, “when she’s just a judge sworn to uphold the law—not rewrite it to suit her personal feelings.”
Judicial Sabotage or Heroism?
This comes as Trump’s administration intensifies pressure on sanctuary states and rogue judges, issuing executive orders to strip federal funding from jurisdictions that harbor criminal aliens and obstruct Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Judge Isham’s threat to shut down her court isn’t just dramatic—it’s potentially criminal, as it openly undermines federal law enforcement.
Legal experts warn that such conduct could result in contempt charges, removal proceedings, or even federal intervention if her actions obstruct justice.
Lawlessness Dressed in Robes
Judge Isham’s stance reveals the growing civil war within America’s judiciary, where certain judges believe they can pick and choose which laws to follow. But as critics argue, if judges abandon their oath for political stunts, they are no longer judging—they’re campaigning from the bench.
If Monica Isham wants to be a martyr for the resistance, perhaps it’s time she trades in her gavel for a megaphone—and leaves Wisconsin’s courtrooms out of her woke crusade.
