Federal Judge Who Blocked DOGE Also Put 75-Year-Old Pro-Life Grandma in Prison

On Wednesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked DOGE members from accessing the US Treasury payment systems.

That judge was US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, and this is not the first questionable ruling she has made.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly was also responsible for putting a 75-year-old grandma behind bars for protesting at an abortion clinic.

The judge heartlessly sentenced pro-life Paulette Harlow to two years in jail.

When Harlow’s husband raised concerns about Paulette potentially dying in jail and begged for mercy, Judge Kollar-Kotelly mocked the couple’s Christian faith, saying she hopes Paulette would “make an effort to remain alive” because it’s a “tenet of religion.”

How sick and cruel can you be?

The judge who just blocked DOGE is the one who put pro-life grandma Paulette Harlow in prison.

Just two months ago, DC Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Paulette Harlow who is 75-year-old and in poor health to 2 years in prison for praying outside an abortion clinic.

The New York Post had the following to say about Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s recent DOGE blockage:

A federal judge temporarily limited members of the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system the day before a DOGE employee who was linked to offensive social media posts quit.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the order Wednesday after three union groups — the Alliance for Retired Americans, the American Federation of Government Employees  and the Service Employees International Union — filed a lawsuit against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, accusing him of illegally sharing their members’ information with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team.

Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, limited access to the payment records system to two DOGE employees — one of whom resigned Thursday — and Treasury officials.

Life News reported several months ago on the federal judge’s heartless ruling in the case of Paulette Harlow:

After sentencing 75-year-old Paulette Harlow to two years in jail, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly quipped about the elderly pro-lifer’s husband’s concern that she might die in prison. Kollar-Kotelly commented that she hopes Harlow will “make an effort to remain alive” because that is a “tenet of [Harlow’s] religion,” according to LiveAction.

On May 31, in a federal Washington, D.C. court, Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Harlow to two years in jail and 36 months of supervised release for protesting at a notorious late-term abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. with eight others.

John Harlow, Paulette’s husband, spoke in court before the sentencing about his concerns for his wife’s declining health and his fear that she might die in prison.

“In my heart, I think she’s having a hard time staying alive,” John said, according to LiveAction. “We’ve tried to be good people,” he later added. “I love my wife dearly… We’re throwing ourselves on the mercy of the court.”

Calls are growing for Judge Kollar-Kotelly to be investigated and impeached:

Why doesn’t the @HouseGOP impeach her immediately? @SpeakerJohnson

@PamBondi Here you go, a Judge that seems to have issues with Christians and pro-life citizens.
