吃瓜直播 of Wisconsin and 吃瓜直播 React to FBI Arrest of Milwaukee Judge
MILWAUKEE 鈥� The 吃瓜直播 of Wisconsin and the 吃瓜直播 released the following statement today after the FBI arrested Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly instructing an immigrant, who appeared in court on April 18, to walk into a public area when ICE agents showed up to her courtroom looking to apprehend him.
鈥淲e want to allow due process to be carried out, with all facts available to the public. However, it is readily apparent that ICE arrests in courthouses gravely impact the willingness of immigrant communities to come forward as victims or witnesses of crime, and seek out help or due process they have a right to.
Judges have a duty to maintain order in their courtrooms and ensure the fair administration of justice, and federal law does not require state judges to act as agents of federal immigration enforcement.
In recent weeks, the administration has attacked the integrity of our judicial system on both sides of the bench 鈥� attacking judges for their rulings and lawyers for their past advocacy. These unprecedented actions seriously undermine faith in our legal system and threaten the freedom and safety of judges who make decisions the administration doesn鈥檛 like.鈥�

Judge Strikes Down President Trump鈥檚 Executive Order Targeting Perkins Coie. Explore Press Release.Judge Strikes Down President Trump鈥檚 Executive Order Targeting Perkins Coie
WASHINGTON 鈥� Judge Beryl Howell in the U.S. District Court for District Columbia struck down President Trump鈥檚 unconstitutional Executive Order attacking Perkins Coie for their past voting rights litigation. In response to this ruling, Brian Hauss, senior staff attorney with the 吃瓜直播, issued the following statement: 鈥淟ast night, Perkins Coie won summary judgment against the Trump administration鈥檚 illegal executive order against the firm. As the court recognized, this 鈥榰nprecedented鈥� attack on the rule of law, and every American鈥檚 right to counsel, cannot stand. It remains an outrage that President Trump has sought to intimidate lawyers from doing exactly what their job entails鈥攝ealously advocating for their clients, regardless of whether those clients are perceived enemies of the president. This win sends a vital message鈥搕he Trump administration鈥檚 thuggery can be defeated by people of courage and integrity. As the administration ramps up its assaults on the courts, the press, universities, and other institutions throughout civil society, we must all find the strength to fight for the values that make America great."
