FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday that federal agents arrested a Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, judge who is suspected of helping an illegal immigrant from Mexico evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Last week, ICE agents showed up at a Milwaukee County Courthouse to arrest a Mexican citizen after a hearing before Judge Hannah Dugan. The judge directed ICE agents to wait in Chief Judge Carl Ashley&#8217;s office and then told the defendant to exit the courtroom through a side door, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/2025/04/25/fbi-investigating-allegations-that-milwaukee-judge-helped-an-immigrant-avoid-ice-arrest-dugan/83250128007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,&#8221; Patel said in a post that was initially deleted. &#8220;Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.&#8221; It was not immediately clear why Patel chose to initially delete the post, but he <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1915800907318468626?t=HrEySSHIGQFX5NqPMVpOpQ&amp;s=19">reposted</a> the same statement a short while later.
The FBI director added that the bureau would share more information &#8220;soon&#8221; and thanked the FBI&#8217;s Milwaukee field office for its work in arresting the judge.
United States Attorney General Pam Bondi also confirmed Dugan&#8217;s arrest in a<a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1915799429455516128?t=8UTJOJOvUBSzY_rn896eDg&amp;s=19"> post</a> to X, stating, &#8220;I can confirm that our @FBI agents just arrested Hannah Dugan – a county judge in Milwaukee – for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest by @ICEgov. No one is above the law.&#8221; 
According to Chief Judge Ashley, who sent an email to other judges about the incident, ICE agents showed a warrant for the illegal immigrant&#8217;s arrest and followed courthouse protocols. Dugan, who has served on the bench for nine years, responded to that email, however, saying &#8220;a warrant was not presented&#8221; to her.
ICE agents have <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/breaking/2025/04/25/milwaukee-county-judge-hannah-dugan-arrested-by-feds-at-courthouse/83270885007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">routinely</a> shown up at the Milwaukee County Courthouse in recent weeks with arrest warrants. In the past two months, two suspected illegal immigrants were arrested by federal agents in the courthouse hallways.
During Trump&#8217;s first term in office, a Massachusetts judge was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/us/politics/fbi-arrest-judge.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> by the Justice Department with obstructing immigration agents after she and a court officer allegedly helped an illegal immigrant sneak out the back door of the courthouse. The federal government later dropped the charges after the judge agreed to go through potential judicial discipline.

Green Bay Packers legend and Super Bowl winner Clay Matthews delivered a &#8220;message&#8221; he joked came from President Donald Trump aimed at rival Chicago Bears on Thursday night during the opening night of the NFL Draft.
Ahead of the first pick of the draft, Matthews, who played linebacker for the Packers for 10 seasons, took to the podium at the draft in Green Bay in front of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to take a well-timed shot at the Bears.
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna go off script here real quick &#8230; Roger,&#8221; Matthews said, flanked by other former Packers greats up on stage. &#8220;I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads here, alright.&#8221;
&#8220;It says, &#8216;My fellow Americans, the Bears still suck!'&#8221; Matthews chanted into the microphone to the cheering crowd.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Matthews made the comments as he was surrounded by other former Packers like Jordy Nelson, Mason Crosby, Ahman Green, and James Jones. Earlier in the night, the former Packers linebacker had biked out onto the stage alongside Goodell, mimicking a Packer tradition where players ride young fans&#8217; bikes during training camp.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As a Packer, Matthews went 16-3 against the Bears as he played from 2009-2018 during the Aaron Rodgers era. In 2011, Matthews and the Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl 31-25. In that game, Matthews forced a fumble in the fourth quarter that proved to be a critical turning point.
Other Packer legends have developed a close association with Trump in recent years. Three time MVP and Super Bowl winner Brett Favre <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/packers-legend-brett-favre-rallies-for-trump-time-to-bench-kamala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was outspoken</a> about his support for Trump during the 2024 presidential election. The former quarterback even appeared at an event in Green Bay days before the election to rally support for Trump.
“I can tell you one thing, I knew I would come back to Green Bay at various times, but I never thought I would come back in this setting,” Favre said at the time. &#8220;Much like the Packer organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner. The United States of America won with his leadership.&#8221;
Trump ended up defeating Kamala Harris by just under 30,000 votes in Wisconsin.

A Wisconsin teenager charged with the murder of his parents was allegedly plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to the FBI.
An FBI <a href="https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/casap-fed-sw-67f9cbaa7affd.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affidavit</a> unsealed on Sunday said that 17-year-old Nikita Casap murdered his parents as part of an alleged plan to assassinate Trump and overthrow the American government. A manifesto cited by the FBI in the affidavit revealed a plan to kill Trump in order to sow chaos in the United States.
Casap was already <a href="https://www.waukeshacounty.gov/media/0yqgp1rd/03-27-25-cider-hills-update.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">under arrest</a> by the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department for the murder of Tatiana Casap and stepfather Donald Mayer. Their bodies were uncovered by law enforcement officers after Casap did not show up to school for two weeks, and they were asked to perform a welfare check.
According to the FBI, they were murdered as part of Casap’s plan to kill Trump.
“He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States. And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit and attack. The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan,” the FBI application for a search warrant said.
“Other parties, with whom Casap was in contact, appear to have been aware of his plan and actions and to have provided assistance to Casap in carrying them out,” the agency added.
The affidavit was provided in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to show probable cause that Casap was engaged in a conspiracy to kill the president and an attempt to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The FBI investigation said that Casap had adopted radical views, and wanted to kill Trump and possibly Vice President JD Vance to “bring some chaos.” He allegedly wanted to bring down the government because he believed that the American government was controlled by Jews.
“It is clear that the jews control all of the White countries, and it is clear that they promote White genocide and degeneracy. This for the white race to survive, it is necessary to accelerate the collapse of the countries,” a portion of his alleged manifesto included in the affidavit said.
The manifesto also included the line, “HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY.” 
The FBI said that Casap planned to flee to Ukraine after the attack and was communicating with a male in Russia about the plans.

Former Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) repeatedly fact-checked CNN anchor Abby Phillip during a Tuesday evening interview, pushing back as she tried to claim that Elon Musk said his Department Of Government Efficiency project would cut Social Security while speaking at a recent town hall event in Wisconsin.
Walker interrupted Phillip several times throughout the interview, refuting her claim she attributed Democratic talking points.

Phillip brought Musk into the discussion, noting that he had poured millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and then referenced a recent town hall in Green Bay, asking, &#8220;Is it a risk for Republicans to put all their eggs in that basket — not only did he spend the money, he came to the state. He came to the state, he talked about cutting Medicaid, Social Security through DOGE, bringing those issues up —&#8221;
&#8220;Actually, he never talked about that. He explicitly said in Green Bay that he would NOT cut social security,&#8221; Walker pushed back.
&#8220;Well, he talked —&#8221; Phillip tried to cut Walker off. &#8220;— at his rallies.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s exactly what he said,&#8221; Walked continued. &#8220;Other people said that, but I was there! I watched him! He did not say he was going to cut Medicaid.&#8221;
&#8220;All right, well, other people at his rallies, who work for DOGE, who work for Elon Musk&#8217;s organization, talked about those issues,&#8221; Phillip tried again.
&#8220;No,&#8221; Walker was not having it. &#8220;I was at the rally, not a one of them said that.&#8221;
&#8220;Do you think that —&#8221; Phillip said.
&#8220;That&#8217;s what the protesters said, but none of the people there actually said that,&#8221; Walker said.
&#8220;Do you think that there are risks here?&#8221; Phillip finally got her question out. &#8220;For Republicans and those issues being associated with Elon Musk?&#8221;
&#8220;There are if people believe the lies that people are saying about that, but that&#8217;s not at all what they said. If people believe that Medicaid and Medicare&#8217;s going to be touched, that&#8217;s just a flat — outright lie.&#8221;
Walker went on to say that Musk and DOGE had looked at Social Security and had found people who were on the list to be paid who were 120 years old and obviously no longer living – and that the organization&#8217;s goal was to root out similar waste, fraud, and abuse in other departments as well.

President Donald Trump said Republicans should have the upper hand in Wisconsin &#8220;for years to come&#8221; after the state voted on Tuesday to enshrine voter ID requirements in its constitution.
More than 60% of voters <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/01/us/elections/results-wisconsin-question.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> the constitutional amendment, which will make it more difficult to roll back voter ID requirements. While Wisconsin state law has required voter ID since 2011, Republicans who pushed for the constitutional amendment argued that it was necessary to prevent Democrats or the liberal state Supreme Court from undoing the law in the future.
Trump took to Truth Social Tuesday night to celebrate the approval of voter ID requirements in the swing state, saying that it was possibly the &#8220;biggest win of the night&#8221; for Republicans, a party that also cruised to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-sweep-in-florida-special-elections-congratulations-to-america?topStoryPosition=undefined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">victories</a> in two special elections in Florida to hold onto U.S. House seats.
&#8220;VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114265988202750791" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!&#8221;
After Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020, Trump and Republicans pushed for voter ID laws across the country, arguing that states that lack such laws make elections susceptible to widespread fraud. Voter ID laws are also extremely popular among Americans. A <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/652523/americans-endorse-early-voting-voter-verification.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gallup poll</a> from October showed that 84% of those surveyed approve of photo identification being required at polling places, compared to just 15% who said they are opposed.
Illegal immigration has been another issue driving the push for voter identification as unlawfully present migrants have been found on state voter rolls and, in some cases, have been <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/19-foreign-nationals-indicted-illegally-voting-2016-elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicted</a> for voting in elections. Despite the high support for voter verification laws, Democrats have largely opposed such efforts, arguing that they disenfranchise voters and decrease participation in elections.
The Wisconsin voter ID amendment passed overwhelmingly as voters also chose to elect a leftist to the state&#8217;s Supreme Court. Judge Susan Crawford won the election over conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by Trump and supported by more than <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/us/elon-musk-wisconsin-supreme-court.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$20 million</a> from Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and allied groups. During a rally for Schimel on Sunday, Musk said that the “entire destiny of humanity” could be impacted by the Wisconsin Supreme Court race as it could help Democrats gain House seats in the Midwest state.
While he spent time and energy trying to push Schimel over the line, Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1905789301557715397" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that the voter ID amendment is &#8220;even more important than the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.&#8221; Early Wednesday morning, Musk celebrated the passage of the voter ID amendment, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1907300849199546454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a>, &#8220;This was the most important thing.&#8221;

Voter ID

Leftist Judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, keeping the court in the control of liberal justices.
Crawford&#8217;s win comes after the most expensive judicial campaign in American history, as more than $90 million was spent on the race. Crawford defeated conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and backed by Trump&#8217;s top donor, Elon Musk.
With an estimated 98.1% of the vote counted on Wednesday morning, Crawford had 55% support (1,286,748 votes) compared to Schimel&#8217;s 45% (1,050,816 votes). High turnout in the Democratic strongholds of Milwaukee and Dane counties fueled Crawford&#8217;s victory. While the liberal justice won, Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly voted to add a voter ID requirement to the state constitution in a win for Republicans.
Schimel&#8217;s campaign was boosted by Musk and his America PAC, while Crawford was supported by a cadre of leftist billionaires like George Soros and Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker. Before becoming a judge, Crawford worked as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood and filed lawsuits to block the state&#8217;s voter ID laws, earning her a label as &#8220;dangerously liberal&#8221; by the Wisconsin Republican Party.
Both parties saw the race as pivotal for the United States House of Representatives as Democrats are now expected to challenge Wisconsin’s congressional maps since Crawford&#8217;s victory has allowed liberal justices on the court to maintain a 4-3 majority. Leftist activists hope that the court will strike down Wisconsin&#8217;s current congressional maps and mandate election maps more favorable to Democrats.
This view was made clear in January when Crawford appeared on a fundraising call, which billed the Supreme Court race as a “chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.&#8221; That same view was echoed earlier this month by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
“There are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin,” Jeffries said. “As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines. The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court.”
Crawford&#8217;s victory could also determine how the court rules on issues like abortion, voter ID laws, and union reforms.
The Women Speak Out PAC, a partner of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said it was disappointed by the election results.
“Tonight’s results are disappointing and a blow for human rights and the rule of law. We mourn the lives that will be lost and the women and girls who will be harmed under a Wisconsin Supreme Court with an activist liberal majority,&#8221; said the PAC&#8217;s Political Communications Director Kelsey Pritchard. &#8220;Republican voters should heed this race as a warning on becoming complacent following the wins last November.&#8221;

‘Dangerously Liberal’ Judge Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

Congress

Voters in Wisconsin will decide the ideological majority of the state Supreme Court on Tuesday after a record-setting spending bonanza from backers of conservative candidate Brad Schimel and liberal candidate Susan Crawford. 
Polls opened at 7:00 a.m. local time in the race billed as one that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives as Democrats are expected to challenge congressional maps if Crawford wins. The $90 million spent on the race is about $40 million more than the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which was the previous record holder for the most expensive state judicial race in history. 
Wisconsinites will also be voting on an amendment that, if approved, would add a voter identification requirement to the state constitution, strengthening the voter ID policy that is already part of state law. 
President Donald Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114263052221266871" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> his supporters to get out and vote for the voter ID amendment and Schimel. 
“There is a very important Referendum (Question 1) on the Ballot to amend the State Constitution to require VOTER ID. This, and other Election Integrity measures, including banning Drop Boxes, and Same Day Voting with Paper Ballots, can only happen if you GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday. 
“For State Supreme Court, make sure to Vote for America First Patriot, Brad Schimel, against Susan Crawford, a Radical Left Liberal, with a History of letting child molesters and rapists off easy. She will be one of the most Liberal Judges ever elected, which would be a DISASTER for Wisconsin and, the United States of America,” he added. 
Already, 644,800 absentee ballots were cast during early voting throughout the state, WiscPolitics <a href="https://www.wispolitics.com/2025/wisconsinites-cast-nearly-655k-ballots-ahead-of-election-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. About 31.9% of these ballots were cast in the liberal strongholds of Dane and Milwaukee counties, while the traditionally Republican-leaning “WOW” counties of Washington, Ozaukee, and Waukesha made up about 19%. 
Schimel has been backed heavily by Elon Musk, whose America PAC has spent millions on the race, while Crawford has been supported by Democrat donors like George Soros. Musk appeared in Green Bay on Sunday, where he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-says-wisconsin-supreme-court-election-is-a-vote-for-which-party-controls-the-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handed out</a> $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters who had signed a petition circulated by his PAC to oppose “activist judges.&#8221; 
“What’s happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western Civilization,” Musk said.
Many Democrats have been thinking the same thing, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). 
“There are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin,” Jeffries said earlier this month. “As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines. The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court.”
Polls in Wisconsin close at 8:00 p.m. local time. While the state&#8217;s last Supreme Court race was called within a couple of hours of the polls closing, the 2024 presidential race in Wisconsin wasn&#8217;t called until early morning the following day.

Wisconsin Voters Head To Polls After Most Expensive State Judicial Race In American History

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk mocked billionaire George Soros from a rally stage in Wisconsin on Sunday after leftist protesters attempted to disrupt his efforts to campaign for conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel.
Musk declared that the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was about more than just who might serve on the court for the next decade — and could have a lasting impact on the balance of power in the United States House of Representatives.
As he spoke, however, protesters attempted to interrupt him — and he fired right back.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After pausing briefly to take in what the protesters were saying, Musk replied, &#8220;It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience.&#8221;
The majority of the audience laughed and cheered as Musk waved at the protesters and smiled. &#8220;Give my regards to George,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Say hi to George for me.&#8221;
The crowd quickly broke out in chants of, &#8220;U.S.A.! U.S.A.!&#8221; — which Musk joined as well.
&#8220;I mean, it was inevitable,&#8221; Musk laughed as the chants died down. &#8220;I was waiting for that one.&#8221;
Wisconsin voters will decide on Tuesday whether to elect Schimel, currently a judge on the Waukesha County Circuit Court, or Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford — and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-says-wisconsin-supreme-court-election-is-a-vote-for-which-party-controls-the-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Musk</a>, that election could ultimately impact the Republicans&#8217; very slim majority in the U.S. House.
&#8220;What’s happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western Civilization,&#8221; Musk said.
The goal for Democrats, if they are able to elect Crawford, is to get the Supreme Court to order redrawn district maps that would allow them to map two typically Republican districts out of existence.

Wisconsin voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide the ideological slant of the State Supreme Court, bringing to a close the most expensive state judicial race in history.
The race — between conservative candidate Brad Schimel and liberal Judge Susan Crawford — will have nationwide consequences, as Democrats are expected to challenge Wisconsin&#8217;s current congressional maps if Crawford wins. The outcome could also determine how the court rules on abortion, voter identification laws, and union reforms.
Schimel, the former Republican Attorney General of Wisconsin, said in a recent interview that he is running to save the court from activist judges like Crawford, saying the court has turned into the &#8220;most dangerous&#8221; body in state government under its current 4-3 liberal majority.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t plan to run for Wisconsin Supreme Court, but in 2023 the liberals took over our court by promising how they were going to rule on cases and then they&#8217;ve been delivering on that. They have been going through a checklist of a political agenda,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/TeamSchimel/status/1904640733723664890" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;My opponent is their handpicked choice to select a liberal that&#8217;s retiring, and she&#8217;s gone so far on the campaign trail and promised to liberal national donors that if she gets elected, she will take out two Republican congressional seats and turn those into Democrat congressional seats.&#8221;
Schimel was <a href="https://x.com/TeamSchimel/status/1884660331202457735" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referring</a> to Crawford&#8217;s appearance on a January fundraising call which billed the Supreme Court race as a &#8220;chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.&#8221;
Democrats believe that if Crawford wins on Tuesday, they will be able to get the Supreme Court to order maps more favorable to their party. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries echoed that perspective last week on X.
“There are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin,” Jeffries said. “As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that and have fair lines. The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court.”
That prospect has drawn major donations to the race, and sparked action from Elon Musk, who has been actively urging voters in Wisconsin to back the conservative candidate.
&#8220;Vote for Superjudge Brad Schimel in Wisconsin on Tuesday!! The Republican House majority is razor-thin and the Democrats want to redraw Wisconsin districts to flip the House and stop the government reforms,&#8221; Musk posted on X on Sunday.

The spending total broke the previously-held record for most expensive state judicial race, when liberals <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liberal-wisconsin-judge-wins-supreme-court-race-flips-balance-of-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first flipped</a> control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2023.
Musk held a town hall on Sunday evening with Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson (R.), where he gave out $1 million each to two people who had signed a petition circulated by his PAC opposing activist judges. Any registered Wisconsin voter who signed the petition got $100, mirroring a similar strategy Musk rolled out in swing states during the 2024 presidential election.
Wisconsin&#8217;s Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul attempted to stop Musk&#8217;s giveaway over the weekend, but was unsuccessful.
Musk&#8217;s America PAC&#8217;s ads targeting Crawford have focused on her record as a judge giving light sentences to sex offenders. One spot highlighted a case where she <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/11/what-to-know-about-the-court-cases-in-brad-schimels-supreme-court-ads/78214352007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced</a> a man convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls in a pool to just four years in prison, well below what prosecutors had requested and the maximum penalty that could have been imposed.
When asked about the case, Crawford said that she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;regret&#8221; the decision, asserting that she followed the law.
Crawford has decried Musk&#8217;s involvement in the race, claiming that Schimel will be a rubber-stamp for Musk and President Donald Trump.
Crawford is currently a judge in liberal Dane County, but has a history of liberal advocacy. Before becoming a judge, she worked as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood, sued to stop the state&#8217;s voter ID laws, and filed a lawsuit against Act 10, a Republican-backed measure that enacted serious reforms for government unions.
The early vote total has reportedly passed 500,000. Republicans will likely need high Election Day turnout for Schimel to win, as Trump narrowly won the state in 2024 by about 30,000 votes. In the 2023 Supreme Court election, the Republican-backed candidate lost by over 10 points.
Conservative groups like SBA Pro-Life America and CatholicVote have urged Trump supporters to show in force for Schimel.
&#8220;President Trump carried Wisconsin in his swing-state sweep because of Catholics. Trump earned a huge double digit Catholic voter win, putting him over the top in the tight race in the Badger state,&#8221; CatholicVote senior political advisor Steve Cortes told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Now, we encourage those same voters to come out for the state Supreme Court race, because of the wide implications that will flow from this election.”
Trump, who endorsed Schimel, has said that the future of the country could be at stake in the election.
“It’s a very important race, actually,” Trump said last week. “I know you feel it’s local, but it’s not. It’s really much more than local. The whole country is watching.”

Here’s What’s At Stake In Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Election

Courts

Elon Musk said Sunday that the &#8220;entire destiny&#8221; of humanity could be impacted by the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race on Tuesday.
Musk made the comments during a rally in Green Bay where he urged attendees to show up and vote for conservative judicial candidate Brad Schimel. Schimel is running against liberal Judge Susan Crawford in a race that will determine the ideological slant of the court.
&#8220;What&#8217;s happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant. And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western Civilization,&#8221; Musk said, adding that he thought the &#8220;entire destiny of humanity&#8221; could be impacted by the race. 
Democrats believe that if Crawford wins on Tuesday, they will be able to get the Supreme Court to order maps more favorable to their party and get rid of two Republican seats. Musk said that the work of the Trump administration to reform the government would be seriously hindered if Republicans lost the House.
Musk, who walked out on stage wearing a cheesehead to a cheering crowd, said that the odds were currently stacked against Schimel, saying that conservatives were going to have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to win.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Elon Musk explains how the odds are currently stacked against the GOP in Wisconsin:
“We’ve gotta pull a rabbit out of the hat next level. We actually have to have a steady stream of rabbits out of the hat… We need to generate an anomaly in the matrix.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“The single biggest challenge, I think, is actually just making people aware that there is this very important election. And its both very important election for Judge Schimel as well as deciding on adding voter ID to the Wisconsin constitution, which is very, very important,&#8221; Musk said. 
Musk also announced that two Wisconsin residents, Nicholas Jacobs and Ekaterina Diestler, would be awarded $1 million after they signed a petition to stop activists judges. Musk said the purpose of the checks was &#8220;to get attention” and said that it had caused the &#8220;legacy media to lose their minds.&#8221;
The Supreme Court on Sunday declined to rule on a lawsuit from Democrat state Attorney General Josh Kaul seeking to block the payments.
Musk announced another initiative at the rally that would pay people $20 for every photo they submit of a Wisconsin resident with a picture of Brad Schimel in one hand and a thumbs up in the other.

Musk was joined at the rally by GOP Senator Ron Johnson and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
“We need to return our Supreme Court to one that has justices and judges. And by that I mean people who will apply the law, not alter it,” Johnson said. “We’re not looking for super legislators.”
Johnson said that Crawford would be likely to vote overturn Act 10, a Republican-backed measure that brought dramatic reforms to government labor unions, and to redistrict Republican congressional districts.

Musk Says Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Is A Vote For ‘Which Party Controls’ The House

Ron Johnson

Sean Duffy

U.S. House of Representatives

We have now established, about a million different ways, that Democrats have no intention of learning anything substantive from their defeat in November. First there was the disastrous meeting to select new leadership at the DNC, which resembled a bad &#8220;American Idol&#8221; audition more than anything else. The various non-binary and BIPOC candidates spent all of their time <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INZi9nS5Pk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">singing</a> and complaining about how oppressed they are, instead of reflecting in any way on how they just lost the election. Then Democrats encouraged a domestic terror campaign against Tesla, which is obviously a surefire way to demonstrate your commitment to a stable, functioning democracy. And on top of that, Democrats also decided to go to federal court on behalf of Venezuelan terrorists who had just been deported, because as we all know, that&#8217;s what swing voters are really passionate about.
It would be a pretty significant understatement to say that this is not a winning strategy for the next election. To any objective observer, Democrats are acting like a party that badly wants to go extinct. But of course, Democrats have no intention of going extinct. Their sole purpose is obtaining as much power as possible. So it&#8217;s worth asking — as we watch Democrats double down on every single one of their policy positions from the last election cycle — what exactly their plan is, going forward. If they don&#8217;t intend to appeal to voters, what are they going to do? How are they going to regain power?
Recently the Democrats&#8217; leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), answered that question. Because Hakeem Jeffries is one of those people who&#8217;s simply too dumb to keep a secret, we have this footage that makes one thing very clear: Democrats do not intend to persuade voters based on ideas or policies or anything like that. That&#8217;s not a major part of their strategy. Instead, Democrats intend to change the rules. That is the winning strategy they&#8217;ve settled on.
Specifically, they&#8217;re going all-in on a supreme court race that&#8217;s taking place on Tuesday in Wisconsin. If Democrats win the race, they&#8217;ll retain control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And then, Democrats intend to use the Wisconsin Supreme Court to redraw congressional districts in the state so that more Democrats are elected, which (if successful) could ultimately swing control of the House of Representatives to the Democrat Party. So this is a state-wide race that will have major implications for the entire country. Watch Hakeem Jeffries explain.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Hakeem Jeffries V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ncDQuwki4Ig?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That&#8217;s one of the creepier uses of the word &#8220;enlightened&#8221; you&#8217;ll ever hear. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin needs to be &#8220;enlightened,&#8221; says Hakeem Jeffries. And by that he means, the Supreme Court should be composed of Left-wing operatives who will do everything in their power to benefit the Democrat Party. This is how Democrats think about judges in every context.
Republicans select judges who will be &#8220;faithful to the law,&#8221; supposedly, which inevitably means that they routinely betray conservative principles and vote with Democrats half the time. Democrats, on the other hand, select judges who vote in lockstep with their party. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve done in the U.S. Supreme Court. And it&#8217;s what they&#8217;re doing in Wisconsin, as well.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mws-ep-1565-member-exclusive">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
If you&#8217;re confused about exactly what Jeffries is talking about, I&#8217;ll try to explain the general idea. Democrats are claiming that Republicans have gerrymandered Wisconsin&#8217;s congressional districts, by drawing the districts in an artificial way so that Democrats are only capable of winning two districts out of eight total in the state. In other words, they&#8217;re saying that the districts are currently drawn so that all of the Democrat voters are jammed into two districts. And now Democrats are promising to use the Supreme Court to redraw those districts, in such a way as to guarantee that Democrat voters are spread across more districts. In the end, the goal is to seat more Democrats in the House of Representatives, and unseat Mike Johnson (R-LA) and the Republicans from power.
One of the many problems here is that Wisconsin&#8217;s congressional districts, as they stand right now, are completely reasonable. There is no reason to redraw them, unless you&#8217;re trying to find some artificial way to get more Democrats in office. Here&#8217;s an image of what the districts look like at the moment:
<div id="attachment_899701" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-899701" class="size-large wp-image-899701" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-25-PM-9638-576x576.jpg" alt="Wikimedia Commons.

As you can see, the Milwaukee and Madison areas, in the southern portion of the state, each have their own district. And those are the two congressional districts that Democrats control at the moment — Districts 2 and 4.
If you compare that district map to the results in Wisconsin from the last presidential election, you&#8217;ll immediately notice the problems that Democrats have. Take a look at this:
<div id="attachment_899709" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-899709" class="size-large wp-image-899709" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-31-PM-5804-576x576.jpg" alt="English: 2024 United States presidential election in Wisconsin by county.

&nbsp;
As you can see, the overwhelming number of counties in the state are Republican. Pretty much all of them voted for Trump. Democrats&#8217; strongest base of support in Wisconsin is in the southern portion of the state by far — in places like Milwaukee and Madison. Those are the urban centers, so that makes sense. This is why Republicans have control of six out of the eight districts in Wisconsin, even though Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in Wisconsin by less than 1%. The Democrat voters happen to be extremely concentrated in these two places, and each of these two places is represented by a distinct congressional district.
In order to accomplish the results that Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries want — which is something like a 50-50 split in the congressional districts — you&#8217;d need to start carving up Districts 2 and 4. There&#8217;s simply no other way to do it, given that the rest of the state is reliably conservative. That&#8217;s what Democrats will have the Wisconsin Supreme Court do, if they win the election on Tuesday. Milwaukee and Madison would be divided in various illogical and arbitrary ways.
But this isn&#8217;t how congressional districts are supposed to work. Congressional districts aren&#8217;t supposed to be drawn so that they produce the same results as statewide elections. They&#8217;re supposed to be drawn to give a voice to the specific needs of various districts — including rural areas, which don&#8217;t have a lot in common with cities like Milwaukee. It&#8217;s a similar reason why we have the Electoral College (which of course, Democrats are also trying to abolish). We want congressional districts to reflect the unique nature of a particular area. That&#8217;s the whole point of them.
But for many years now, Democrats in Wisconsin have attempted to use redistricting for a very different purpose. And they&#8217;ve been having a lot of success. In late 2023, Democrats in Wisconsin installed a judge on the state supreme court who had openly campaigned on the platform of redrawing the state&#8217;s electoral maps for state and local elections. This is apparently the kind of thing that judges do in Wisconsin; they tell voters how they&#8217;ll decide cases, once they become a judge. That judge won, and indeed, the maps for state-level elections were ultimately redrawn. And the results were immediate. 
In the November election — which, again, Donald Trump won in Wisconsin — Democrats flipped 14 state Senate and Assembly seats in Wisconsin.
Yes, in an election where the Republican candidate for president was victorious in the state-wide vote in Wisconsin, Republicans nevertheless suffered major losses in the state government. And without any irony whatsoever, Democrats celebrated this outcome as a major victory for democracy. And now that they&#8217;ve rigged the state-wide districts, Democrats are taking aim at Wisconsin&#8217;s federal congressional districts, so that they can retake the House and obstruct Donald Trump in Congress.
It&#8217;s not just Hakeem Jeffries who&#8217;s admitting this. I watched a little bit of the debate between Brad Schimel, the Republican candidate for this Supreme Court seat, and Susan Crawford, the Democrat candidate. It turns out that Crawford received an email invitation for an event about how she can help Democrats gain two seats in the House of Representatives. And then she attended the event via Zoom. Watch how she tried to explain this:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Supreme Court debate V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Edi8zLzOUIA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the level of corruption and shamelessness that Democrats are bringing to this race. Their candidate for the Wisconsin supreme court gets caught attending a planning session for how she&#8217;s going to use her position — as a supposedly nonpartisan judge who follows the law — to help Democrats in the House. And then she lies about it during a televised debate. And somehow, she&#8217;s ahead in the polls.
I watched some more of this debate, and she rattles off the usual lies about abortion, and how important it is for women to be able to murder their children for any reason. Then she lies about &#8220;heartbeat bills&#8221; and so on. She is, in every respect, an atrocious candidate. She is acting exactly like a generic Democrat partisan operative, because that&#8217;s exactly what she is. Republicans simply should not lose this race.
But at the moment, roughly 95% of Kamala Harris voters are backing Crawford, while only around 87% of Trump voters are supporting Schimel. That needs to change between now and Tuesday, or else Crawford will win. And that could potentially be a disaster for Republicans at the national level, at least in the short term.
It&#8217;s worth ending on a note of optimism here. Regardless of what happens in Wisconsin, it looks like Democrats&#8217; representation in the House of Representatives is going to decline significantly by 2030, when the next Census kicks in.
<div id="attachment_899711" style="width: 825px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-899711" class="wp-image-899711 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-815x576.jpg" alt="The American Redistricting Project. 2030 Apportionment Forecast - 2024. https://thearp.org/blog/apportionment/2030-apportionment-forecast-2024/" width="815" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-815x576.jpg 815w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-300x212.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-768x543.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/03/MixCollage-28-Mar-2025-02-38-PM-8884-2048x1448.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px" />thearp.org</div>
That&#8217;s because, as this map demonstrates, people are leaving states like California, New York and Illinois. And they&#8217;re flooding into states like Texas and Florida. Democrats have forced millions of people to leave the states they&#8217;ve mismanaged. And that affects representation in the House, which is based on population — whether those residents are legal or illegal. On balance, that likely means that Republicans will pick up around 12 seats in the House by 2030. That&#8217;s more than three times the size of the GOP&#8217;s current majority. And because the Trump administration is sharply cutting down on the number of illegal aliens in this country, it&#8217;s going to be difficult for Democrats to compensate by flooding the zone with foreign nationals.
In other words, the broader indicators for conservatives are very strong right now. Democrats are doubling down on their most insane and alienating positions. And they&#8217;re resorting to gerrymandering, and promoting judges who are obviously corrupt, in an attempt to claw back a couple of House seats. But whether Democrats win those seats or not, the fact remains that Democrats&#8217; constituency is shrinking by the day. That&#8217;s also why they lost the popular vote in the last election, to their great shock and horror. No matter how much lawfare these people engage in, it remains true that, in this country, voters — not judges — have the power. 
What we&#8217;re seeing is that Democrats — both in Wisconsin and in Washington — apparently believe otherwise. They think judges get to run the executive branch, just like they think judges get to award Democrats another two seats in the House of Representatives. But on Tuesday, with the entire country watching, voters in the state of Wisconsin have an opportunity to prove them wrong. For the sake of the rule of law in this country, and for the Republicans&#8217; control of the House, let&#8217;s hope they do so.

Elon Musk said he will give two people in Wisconsin who signed a petition &#8220;in opposition to activist judges&#8221; in the state&#8217;s Supreme Court race $1 million each on Sunday night.
Musk&#8217;s Thursday announcement comes as he campaigns heavily for conservative candidate Brad Schimel in his race against liberal Judge Susan Crawford for a spot on Wisconsin&#8217;s top court. The winner of the April 1 election will determine the ideological leaning of the court and could impact future cases on congressional maps, voter ID, union reforms, and abortion.
&#8220;On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. Entrance is limited to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election. I will also personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote. This is super important,&#8221; Musk posted on his X social media platform late Thursday night.

The PAC recently announced that it had designated Scott Ainsworth, a mechanical engineer from Green Bay, as a $1 million spokesman for the petition.
&#8220;Everyone should do what I did. Sign the petition, refer your friends, get out and vote early for Brad Schimel,&#8221; Ainsworth said in a video posted by the PAC. &#8220;If everyone in the MAGA moment shows up and votes for Brad Schimel, we will win.&#8221;

Musk took a similar approach during the 2024 election, handing out $1 million payments to registered voters in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania who signed a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments. A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-allows-elon-musks-1m-america-pac-giveaways-to-continue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">judge rejected a challenge</a> to those payments.
Crawford, backed by Wisconsin Democrats, has accused Schimel of being bought by Musk.
“It’s corrupt, it’s extreme, and it’s disgraceful to our state and judiciary,” Crawford spokesman Derrick Honeyman <a href="https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-supreme-court-elon-musk-lottery-trump-b272e6af6c18ff5b73cd100ecec275b7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of the payments.
The race has quickly turned into the most expensive state Supreme Court race in history. While Schimel has been boosted heavily by Musk, Crawford has raked in support from leftist billionaires George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker.
This article has been updated to include Musk&#8217;s clarification that the checks will be handed out to people who have signed the petition.
