People being detained and "exported" by ICE

JMO. That's what you call ironic:

“I can confirm that our @FBI agents just arrested Hannah Dugan – a county judge in Milwaukee – for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest by @ICEgov,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote. “No one is above the law.”

As a lawyer, I am expected to not break the law myself. And that is what happened here. I don't understand the sympathy here.

Maybe listen to the other side first before judging:

“Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety,” her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, said during the hearing.

That is what is alleged to have happened here. We are a long way from the court adjudicating and ruling if that is actually what happened. Charged not convicted. If she indeed did as she is alleged to have done then she surely knew the risks when she did and yet felt strongly enough to take the risk of possible prosecution. At least she will get due process.

Curious how this will play out.

Wow, gotta love the administration arresting a judge with no charges! They really have no low.

This is chilling.

The post youre responding to had all the information. Don't know why that's being ignored.

a withholding of removal to one country doesn't automatically grant a designated terrorist any additional legal process. per the aea.

It isn't chilling. The Judge was arrested on charges that have been filed.

Well of course it is just alleged. Apparently a lot of it is recorded on the Courtroom video. But she was aware of the warrant and removed the defendant to an area the agents couldn't not go and to an exit. Her stance on immigration is apparently well known, so it isn't like this occurred in a vacuum.

FBI agent’s affidavit in the criminal complaint against the judge

The Journal Sentinel reported earlier this week that the FBI was investigating Dugan for trying to help an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.

Dugan told the paper in an email that “Nearly every fact regarding the ‘tips’ in your email is inaccurate.”

Always more to the story -

After a back-and-forth with officers over the warrant for the man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, she demanded that the arrest team speak with the chief judge and led them away from the courtroom, the affidavit says.

After directing the arrest team to the chief judge’s office, investigators say Dugan returned to the courtroom was and was heard saying words to the effect of “wait, come with me” before ushering Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer through a jury door into a non-public area of the courthouse. The action was unusual, the affidavit says, because “only deputies, juries, court staff, and in-custody defendants being escorted by deputies used the back jury door. Defense attorneys and defendants who were not in custody never used the jury door.”

They had student visas, yes. Actions have consequences, their actions resulted in their visas being revoked.

The semester isn't over yet. Post-secondary semesters end at the end of April. Some foreign students were rounded up and detained during the semester.

Why? They had the visa for the semester. Why were they rounded up prior to the end of the semester?

Disgustingly accurate. WHY and how did t avoid arrest and jail?? FELON convictions plus.

People can be very judgemental over how someone looks.
Ie assuming you weren't born in the country you were born in.

Years ago, mostly in my teens I would get people assuming I wasn't born in Australia, though I was.
I was called names like "wog". They assumed I was Greek or Italian.

They said it as though it wasn't a good thing, where in my mind I thought it was a compliment though I knew it wasn't meant as one.

How boring it would be if every one in your country had the exact same skin colour as you.

I've always loved that we come in so many lovely colours.

How ridiculous and low IQ of them. Greek and or Italian?? Gorgeousssssssssssss.

I don’t think people fully understand what it’s like to be an American citizen with brown skin right now. I was born here. I pay taxes. I’ve lived and worked in this country my whole life. But because of how I look, because of my skin color and because I have tattoos... I live with the fear that one day, I could be stopped, questioned, detained, and forced to prove I belong here.

That’s not paranoia. That’s reality.

Without strong protections for due process, people like me can be detained. Have been detained. Sometimes for hours, sometimes for days. If you can’t produce proof of citizenship fast enough or if someone just decides you “look illegal”, your entire life can be turned upside down.

This is why due process matters. It’s not just about abstract legal principles. It’s about real people. American citizens. Living in fear of being treated like we don’t belong in our own country.

Absolutely right. I am sick with fear at work as so many people from other countries come in and I think how if any horrible people come in, I WILL RUN INTERFERENCE, all 5'3 of me and not a runner but a beach sitter, porch sitter etc. SO MUCH ANGER reading your statement in this COUNTRY I have , this country NOW. I do include people who's ancestors are from other countries that are not of light or white skinned nationalities, soooooooo many nationalities in this world and mixed and blended for generations. Celebrate not hate.
