Judge Andrew Napolitano criticized the Trump administration regarding the recent arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, asserting that her alleged facilitation of a migrant's escape was an overreach. Napolitano stated that proper legal protocol would involve contacting a lawyer for voluntary surrender rather than immediate arrest. He contended that making an example of a sitting judge amid tension with the judiciary was inappropriate and believed she had judicial immunity in this context, anticipating the matter would eventually be resolved in federal court.
I don't know this fellow speaks English, but I think they overreached by arresting her. You donât stop them on the street and put handcuffs on them. You say to his lawyer, we need to talk to you about whether or not you will voluntarily surrender because weâre about to charge you with a crime.
But because they're on a bit of a jihad against judges, they decided to make an example out of this. I think this is the wrong case out of which to make an example.
