Jake and The Judge
- Marco Rubio's disclosure of a spy agency inside the State Department.
- Florida creating its own immigration laws.
- The arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan!
- Wisconsin Supreme Court suspends judge accused of obstructing immigration agents.
- Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested last week at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and faces two federal charges for obstruction and concealing an individual from arrest. She made her first appearance Friday morning and was released on her own recognizance. (CNN)
- “It is in the public interest that she be temporarily relieved of her official duties,” the two-page order states, noting that the state’s Supreme Court took up the matter itself “in order to uphold the public’s confidence.”
- Judge Napolitano opinion piece: “Arresting a Judge.”
Last week the FBI arrested a Wisconsin state judge as she was walking into the courthouse where she works. The feds had alerted the media -- but not the judge -- to this event, and they arrived and recorded the arrest.
The standard and preferred practice when arresting a nonviolent person who is a public official with deep roots in the community is to invite the person to surrender with counsel.
Instead, without notice, this judge was stopped on a public street, handcuffed behind her back -- a technique reserved for the most dangerous or threatening individuals -- and within minutes, the FBI Director himself had posted still photos of this event on his X account.
The feds were unhappy at the manner in which a criminal defendant before this judge was permitted to leave her courtroom. By leaving through a nonpublic exit, instead of through the doors where the feds were awaiting him, his departure frustrated the feds who apparently expected the judge to accommodate them.
The technical charge against the judge is obstructing the administration of justice. The true charge was failing to aid the feds.
