The FBI arrested Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly obstructing an arrest by directing federal agents in her courtroom. This occurred amidst accusations from FBI Director Kash Patel and remarks from Attorney General Bondi claiming she endangered law enforcement and citizens. Dugan's defense cites a Supreme Court ruling stating judges have immunity for official acts, paralleling past protections given to President Trump. Her motion to dismiss the charges hinges on this immunity, asserting that her actions fell within her judicial responsibilities, prompting broader discussions about the accountability of judges versus other public officials.
âImmunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset.â
âShe put the lives of our law enforcement officers at risk. She put the lives of citizens at risk... What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me.â
