Trump Has Many Immigration Abuses. The Cases Against the Two Judges Aren't That.
Briefly

The article discusses the alarming enforcement of the Trump administration's immigration agenda, focusing on the criminal charges against two state judges, Hannah Dugan and Jose Luis Cano. Unlike broader criticisms of the administration's immigration policy, these cases are specifically about obstruction of federal law enforcement efforts. Cano is charged with actively destroying evidence related to a gang member he housed illegally, while Dugan’s case, though more complex, also involves clear obstructive actions. The author emphasizes that merely not complying with federal agencies is not a crime, contrasting it with the judges' deliberate misconduct.
Both judges crossed a line; the criminal charges against them are justified as they illustrate intentional acts of obstruction against federal immigration enforcement.
It’s not a crime to do nothing, but when state officials actively obstruct federal agents, they cross a crucial boundary that must be addressed.
