She’s responding to questions about the FBI’s decision to arrest a Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an immigrant evade capture by ICE in her courtroom.
Federal agents arrested a Wisconsin judge on Friday after she allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant evade arrest, FBI Director Kash Patel said.
Patel announced in an X post that Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan has been charged with obstruction.
The tweet was quickly deleted. The FBI did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why the post was removed.
But a senior law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that Dugan was arrested at about 8:30 a.m. local time in the parking lot of her courthouse for allegedly assisting an undocumented immigrant in avoiding arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week.
From what I understand judges do not commonly allow arrests in their courtrooms so it’s not surprising that she resisted. They are charging her with helping him evade the ICE agents in the hall by giving him the opportunity to leave by another door and they ended up chasing him down the street to arrest him.
You have to love this newfound concern for the safety of the public, when one of the first things they did was drop all pending charges in the January 6th cases and said that those who were pardoned should not be prosecuted even for unrelated gun charges and domestic violence. These people are so dangerous.
Apparently the Nazi FBI and DOJ think it’s important to arrest a judge to show that they will go after them, as Bondi explicitly says above. It’s pure intimidation, the kind of demonstration of police state power that we’ve historically seen in fascist regimes. That’s where we are.
