Two women who protested a proposed $15 billion AI data center at a Port Washington Common Council meeting were each fined $187 after a municipal judge found them guilty of disorderly conduct. The cases stemmed from arrests at a December council meeting where residents were commenting on the data center, which is under construction north of downtown. Three women were arrested and cited. At a municipal court trial in Port Washington, Mid-Moraine Municipal Court Judge Christine Ohlis dismissed one citation and found Christine Le Jeune and Julianne Wanderer guilty. The offense is noncriminal. Le Jeune was told to leave after her allotted public-comment time expired and she chanted “recall” four times. Police then ordered her out, and she was forcibly removed. Wanderer tried to physically intervene as officers removed Le Jeune. Le Jeune said she was shocked by what happened and that the meeting had moved on to another speaker. Their attorney, Dan Adams, argued in court that police, rather than the protesters, created the disruption. Ohlis said people have a right to speak, but public meetings also require rules of decorum so they can proceed. After the arrests, the city said it aimed to provide a secure setting for respectful public discussion where speakers would not be disrupted or shouted down, regardless of their views. Mayor Ted Neitzke did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday, according to the report updated Oct. 13, 2026.
