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

Maybe there were drugs? I don't know, but this whole thing just seems really fishy. So again, if he was not arrested prior to this, isn't that the fault of the local/state police? For the allegations he was facing in the pre-trial hearing, I just find it strange how he wasn't arrested unless he had bail. I'm not sure about the public defender supposedly taking pictures, but I feel there is more to the start than is being let on. Still, I am very skeptical of this. It was the head of the FBI, a person who supported the insurrection, that ordered the judge arrested.

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.
