Overview

• Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on Friday for allegedly helping a migrant evade ICE agents by directing them out of her courtroom through a side door.
• During a White House press briefing on Monday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked whether the Trump administration would consider prosecuting federal or Supreme Court judges for similar actions.
• Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized Judge Dugan’s actions as a clear-cut case of obstruction of federal law enforcement.
• Leavitt stated that anyone obstructing federal law enforcement could face prosecution but deferred decisions on specific cases to the Department of Justice.
• The case raises broader questions about judicial independence and the Trump administration’s approach to immigration enforcement and accountability within the judiciary.
