A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan on charges including concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction, allowing a case that began against her in April to continue.

The indictment is related to the charges federal prosecutors brought in a complaint against Dugan after she allegedly helped a man evade immigration officials in the courtroom. The indictment verifies the initial complaint and allows federal prosecutors to pursue the charges.

…

According to the complaint against Dugan, she directed Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a door that is reserved for jury members, court staff, deputies and defendants who are in custody.

For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values.

If opposing King Donald makes me a communist, I’ll wear the label proudly!

In fact I have been a Republican for 50 of my 70 years. The current group of corrupt clowns who have taken over the Republican parts just aren’t my type of Republicans. I’ll cast my lot with any commie or lefty who can throw these bums out.

Chicago Sun-Times: Immigration agents arrested a U.S. citizen and created warrants after an arrest, lawyers say in court

Chicago attorneys with the National Immigrant Justice Center and the ACLU of Illinois accused the federal government of violating immigration law and the constitutional rights of at least 22 people who were arrested and detained in the Midwest since President Donald Trump’s inauguration as part of his crackdown on immigration.

Two people are still in custody, 19 were released on bond and one has already been deported.

…

Attorneys say these actions violate the Nava Settlement — a 2018 class-action lawsuit filed in response to unlawful arrests by ICE agents who used traffic stops and other tactics to make arrests without a warrant. Under the agreement, ICE officials can conduct a warrantless arrest if they believe an individual is likely to escape, but they must provide evidence. In the motion filed Thursday in federal court in Chicago, attorneys said federal agents since January had “failed to assess whether there was probable cause that an individual was likely to flee before a warrant could be issued.”
