Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s trial date has been removed from the calendar as the court reviews her motion to dismiss the case. As you probably recall, Judge Dugan was indicted last month for obstructing an ICE arrest after she tried to hide an illegal aliens from immigration authorities in her courtroom.

Prosecutors in Wisconsin have just filed an unusual document with a court: They explained that just because a person is a judge, that doesn’t mean she gets a free pass to break the law. That earlier was the stunning claim from Hannah Dugan, a now-suspended judge, arguing that prosecutors weren’t even allowed to bring a case against her after evidence showed she distracted federal agents, then let an illegal alien criminal walk out of the courthouse. Dugan’s claim was that she has absolutely immunity for whatever she does in her courtroom – even in the courthouse building. A report at...

A federal grand jury indicted a Wisconsin circuit court judge on Tuesday, who was arrested last month for allegedly shielding an illegal immigrant from federal agents. Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding on April 25, after evidence became known that she had shielded an illegal immigrant from federal agents, according to a criminal complaint.

MILWAUKEE —A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Tuesday. The FBI arrested Dugan on federal obstruction charges last month, after they alleged she helped an undocumented migrant avoid immigration agents who were trying to arrest him after his appearance in her courtroom. In a statement to WISN 12 News, Dugan's legal team said, "Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court." She is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. The state supreme court suspended the judge from the bench. Dugan is not currently hearing cases.

This week, two judges lifted their robes to show a little ankle and in so doing revealed themselves to be completely indifferent to the laws they swore to uphold. Now they face federal prosecution. But like Murphy, the left has laws too, and those internecine rules must be observed and respected. Their rule book says federal charges are merely the beginning of what should happen to the two accused black-robed leftist criminals. It’s not as if we have a choice, do we? Leftists judges can’t paint outside the lines and help criminal illegal aliens without some blowback. So, with the...

The Wisconsin state Supreme Court on Tuesday suspended a Milwaukee judge who has been accused of allegedly helping an illegal migrant evade an immigration arrest. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI late last week on obstruction charges, after she allegedly helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz evade arrest by "intentionally [misdirecting] federal agents away from the subject." FBI Director Kash Patel said at the time that Flores Ruiz was also arrested. The state Supreme Court said that the suspension was in the best interest of the public, because Dugan has been charged with two federal crimes, according...

The illegal immigrant at the center of the controversial arrest of a Wisconsin judge is accused of smashing a person's face 30 times in a dispute about loud music. The violent incident is just one in a 'laundry list' of charges against Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican citizen, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE. Flores-Ruiz, 29, appeared in front of Wisconsin County Judge Hannah Dugan on April 18 to face claims he left his roommate and his girlfriend in the hospital after the alleged assault. During that court appearance, ICE agents who were there to arrest the illegal immigrant...

“This is not normal.” Those words from Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., are undeniably true after the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan. However, the reason it is not normal is far more debatable. Dugan is accused of becoming a lawbreaker in seeking to obstruct an effort to arrest a man wanted by federal authorities. If true, that is manifestly not “normal.”As soon as the news of the arrest was reported, Democrats declared another constitutional crisis. Klobuchar added that the arrest “is a drastic move threatening the rule of law” and a “grave step and undermines our system of checks and...

Here is the mugshot of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan who was arrested for aiding a violent illegal alien to escape ICE. Please add your label for this mugshot.

The FBI's arrest of a Wisconsin judge shocked the establishment. But it's exactly the kind of escalation the MAGA base has been agitating for. "This is not the time for summer soldiers or sunshine patriots," MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec told Axios, invoking founding father Thomas Paine. Why it matters: Friday's arrest of Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan, on charges of obstructing an immigration arrest, is a stunning escalation of President Trump's battles with political opponents.

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) said that while she can’t say whether or not Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was interfering in an arrest, Dugan’s arrest was “continuing the assault on our judiciary” and she looks forward to her “being exonerated.” Moore began by saying, “I can tell you that Judge Dugan is an outstanding jurist. And I, too, look forward to her defending herself vigorously and being exonerated. The jurisprudence and the guidance that all of us have subscribed to, and I certainly was helpful in crafting our legislation that indicated that...

A judge who allegedly helped an illegal alien evade capture has herself been arrested by federal authorities, just one week after another judge received a lifetime ban from the bench for harboring an MS-13 gang member in his own home. Judge Hannah Dugan was cuffed by FBI agents on Friday after helping the individual “evade arrest,” according to a statement by Director Kash Patel. She is charged with knowingly misdirecting federal officers away from the illegal immigrant as he hid in the courthouse. “The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence...

A veteran Wisconsin judge was arrested Friday for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade ICE agents in her courthouse, the FBI said. Judge Hannah Dugan, who has been on the Milwaukee County bench for nearly a decade, was nabbed on an obstruction charge after she was accused of interfering in Eduardo Flores Ruiz’s arrest last week. “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,” FBI director Kash Patel said in an X post. “Thankfully our...

A Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant "evade arrest," according to FBI Director Kash Patel. Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges, according to Patel. "The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction -- after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week," he posted.

Democrat Senators erupted in anger Friday over news of the arrest by the Trump administration of a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal alien evade arrest by ICE agents by helping him sneak out the back of her courtroom. (If you do the link, be sure and cover your eyes because she is a looker as in the opposite direction)

Several Democrats who have argued that "no one is above the law" in President Donald Trump’s cases are now condemning the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, warning it could threaten the rule of law. "This is not normal," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., tweeted of Dugan’s arrest by the FBI on proceeding obstruction charges for allegedly shielding an indicted Mexican migrant from ICE agents. "The administration's arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law," Klobuchar added, saying it's a "grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances." During Trump’s...

Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11Wild! Attorney General Pam Bondi explains what really happened with Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan that led to her arrest by FBI:"The Judge learns that ICE was outside to get the guy, because he had been deported in 2013, came back into our country, charged with committing these crimes, victim is in court.Judge finds out. She goes out into the hallway. Screams at the immigration officer. She's furious. Visibly shaken. Upset. Sends them off to talk to the chief judge."She comes back into the courtroom. You're not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in...

It’s big news: Judge Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, was arrested today because she allegedly assisted an illegal alien in escaping when ICE agents showed up at the courthouse to arrest him. If you’re like me, you’re not surprised that a leftist judge broke the law. Instead, you’re extremely surprised that the federal government is making her pay the price for her illegal conduct. The underlying allegations are simple: In a criminal complaint, the U.S. Justice Department said Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, refused to turn over the man after immigration agents showed up to arrest...
