DeKalb County Judge Faces Resignation Demands After Controversial Gaza Comments on Social Media

A DeKalb County Superior Court judge, Stacey Hydrick, is under pressure to resign following a controversial social media post in which she expressed skepticism about the existence of innocent civilians in Gaza. The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned her remarks as showing bias against Palestinians and Muslims, calling them detrimental to public trust in the judiciary. Hydrick acknowledged her emotional response to footage from the Oct. 7 Hamas attack but emphasized her commitment to impartiality in her judicial role.
