Federal prosecutors indicted Wisconsin Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade immigration authorities. Dugan is accused of escorting him and his lawyer through a back door of her courthouse after realizing ICE agents were present to arrest him. This case illustrates escalating tensions between local officials and the Trump administration's immigration policies, as critics suggest the indictment seeks to intimidate judges opposing federal immigration efforts. This incident parallels a similar case from the first Trump administration involving a Massachusetts judge.
"The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan escalated a clash between President Trump’s administration and local authorities over the Republican's sweeping immigration crackdown."
"Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to make a national example of Dugan to chill judicial opposition to the crackdown."
