In reply to the discussion: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: What to know about Hannah Dugan, the Milwaukee judge arrested amid ICE investigation on 4/25 [View all]tornado34jh
(1,532 posts)13. Did he have his hearing? The affidavit isn't clear if he did.
Now, if he did have it, and the judge/attorney did give him a leeway to escape after the hearing was done, then yes, she is in big trouble. But my big question is, was he arrested prior to this hearing? Apparently he had serious allegations. I don't think such allegations would have not seen him arrested. Does the affidavit state that he was in custody prior to the hearing? If he wasn't, then that is the fault of the local/state police.

OP
Good way to tick off all judges everywhere. Suspect this will be dismissed as hard to prove intent vs.

Interestingly, I'd forgotten they did this the last time around with a judge in Massachusetts. Disgusting.

Here's the affidavit. IF true, it's not good for the judge. Big IF though with these fascists

It might not look good for the judge, but something doesn't make sense to me.

The judge is not required to assist in the enforcement of an administrative warrant.

A judicial warrant is required to enter and arrest someone in a private space, like a home or a closed court hearing.

It appears the defendant's attorney asked to leave out of a side door with the defendant and Judge Dugan let them.

The FBI director announced it (then deleted) on Twitter. Yes Twitter. That is how FBI announced this.

Judge Dugan was arrested without presenting case to grand jury-this was a stunt to whip MAGA faithful into a frenzy
