    “Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands,” wrote Emil Bove, then acting deputy attorney general.

    Well, did they approach the bench and show a legal warrant? Did they prove the legality of their detention of the person? Or were they doing a smash and grab?

    I think that rule is fair enough, but this whole campaign of terror is riddled with illegality. If the kidnapping is illegal, or they didn’t prove to the judge that it was legal, this rule doesn’t apply.

    “Ms. Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest,” her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries. “It was not made in the interest of public safety, and we ask that the court allow her release.”

    Dries released Dugan from custody to await future court proceedings.

    Yep. Good luck finding a judge convicting another judge. What the fuck is that retard thinking?

      That Hitler’s will a leader’s will is above any written law. The architect of the Nazi legal agenda, Carl Schmitt created Führerprinzip, which dictates this belief.

      Remember how JD Vance kept trying to tell us the constitution does not allow for a judge’s orders to overrule a president’s executive authority? That’s not his original argument, that is what Harvard Constitutional Law Professor and Carl Schmitt fanboy, Adrian Vermeule, has been arguing in right wing ivy league political circles for a very long time…

    Is he really an illegal immigrant? And is he guilty of the crime that he was in the hearing for?

    If he’s here illegally, then deport him. If he’s here legally, let him have his trial, and let the rule of law prevail by meting out whatever justice is deemed necessary. Sure, a crime may invalidate a visa or legal standing or whatever, but you still have to have the damned trial. Innocent until proven guilty.

    Trying to arrest him at his pre-hearing to rendition him is fucking wrong. And trying to punish the judge for trying to block that miscarriage of justice from happening is doubly so.

      Exactly, regardless of anyone’s stance on immigration issues, you should find this very fucking concerning if you value liberty and due process.

      If we’re ignoring the law and arresting judges, you better wake the fuck up and realize how easily that slippery slope turns into doing the same against U.S. citizens for any perceived or rumored slight to the king.

    In this situation we get to see what is more important, the “Rule of Law” or “Orange Man Talking”.

    I got my fingers crossed, holding my breath.

      I have the envelope right here. The winner is:

      Orange man talking about how important the rule of law is, while demanding a constitutional interpretation which favors the will of a leader above liberty of the people, in order to preserve law and order!!!

      Wow what a shock! I’m sure they would thank the academy if it wasn’t such an elitist institution. You know none of this would have been possible without the hard work of Yale Law grad JD Vance also calling everyone else an elitist, while leaning on Harvard Constitutional Law professor Adrian Vermeule’s longstanding argument supporting executive power over judicial, which was openly inspired by Vermeule’s own love of the legal architect of the Nazi agenda Carl Schmitt!!!

      Schmitt’s own dedication to mental gymnastics granted executive authority and the will of the leader to reign supreme in Germany, which allowed Hitler to legally carry out genocide while the German constitution remained in name only.

      Wow, what a fantastic ensemble of evil and destruction of a democracy, sponsored by the Heritage Foundation.

    Federal prosecutors have charged a Milwaukee judge with obstructing an immigration arrest operation — the first known instance of the Justice Department pursuing a criminal case against a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement since President Donald Trump returned to office.

    FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan in a post on the social media platform X, which he deleted moments after posting. Patel accused Dugan of “intentionally misdirecting” federal agents who arrived at the courthouse to detain an immigrant who was set to appear before her in an unrelated proceeding.

    “Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since,” Patel wrote. “But the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.”

    The FBI declined to comment on why Patel had deleted his post announcing Dugan’s arrest.

    At a brief appearance in federal court in Milwaukee on Friday, prosecutors said Dugan has been charged with counts of obstruction and concealing a person from arrest, the most serious of which are punishable by up to five years in prison.

    “Ms. Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest,” her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries. “It was not made in the interest of public safety, and we ask that the court allow her release.”

    Dries released Dugan from custody to await future court proceedings.

    According to reporting by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, ICE agents arrived in Dugan’s courtroom last Friday during a pre-trial hearing for Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a 30-year-old Mexican national who is facing misdemeanor battery charges in Wisconsin.

    Dugan asked the agents to leave and speak to the circuit court’s chief judge, the Journal Sentinel reported. By the time they returned, Flores Ruiz had left.

    “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,” Patel wrote in his post.

    Judges in some jurisdictions across the country have criticized ICE’s efforts to locate and detain migrants at courthouses. They say those efforts have made migrants unwilling to show up as victims or witnesses in unrelated hearings because they are afraid they might face arrest.

    During Trump’s first term, the Justice Department charged a judge and court officer in Massachusetts with helping an undocumented immigrant escape from a courthouse in Newtown, a suburb of Boston, in 2018.

    Prosecutors said then that as ICE agents arrived to detain the man, Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph directed him to leave through the courthouse basement, where he was let out a back door as the agents waited for him in the lobby.

    The federal charges were dropped in 2022 as part of an agreement that required Joseph to refer herself to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct, the body in charge of judicial discipline in the state.

    Within days of Trump’s return to the White House in January, a top Justice Department official directed federal prosecutors nationwide to investigate and potentially charge state and local officials who impede the president’s immigration enforcement agenda.

    “Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands,” wrote Emil Bove, then acting deputy attorney general.

    Dugan won her seat on the Milwaukee County bench in 2016, defeating a judge who had been appointed in the heavily Democratic county by then-Gov. Scott Walker ®.

    Before she was a judge, Dugan worked as a poverty attorney and executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

    That’s like arresting a live grenade and leaving the pin behind. Better hold on tight or start putting some distance between yourself and the whole situation.

    One of the fundamental rules of working in law enforcement is “Don’t fuck with judges”. They must be amateurs.

      They just plan to get rid of the law and enforce whatever they believe constitutes law and order in the moment. As in, whatever helps them get whatever they want in the moment and contributes to the destruction of our country

    Good luck proving intent. The judge was, I’m sure, just following policy when someone tries to invade her courtroom.

      Lol, she directed them to the chief judge for the courthouse, so it sounds like you’re right. The state judiciary has no obligation to render aid to federal officers.
