I think he's originally from Mexico, but he's been here for many years. He's here legally, but that doesn't matter to this administration. I wonder where he went.

For the people celebrating the weaponized arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by the trump administration because "she broke the law," just remember that it also used to be against the law to hide folks like Anne Frank.

What side of history are YOU on?

5. "misdirected ICE"

Patel stated that Judge Dugan "misdirected ICE" which I think means the Judge pointed to a different door other than the one the immigrant went through, which led the ICE agents to look like idiots.

Legal experts say the charges against a Milwaukee judge accused of helping an undocumented defendant avoid arrest are a concerning escalation of the federal government's efforts to compel local officials to assist in immigration enforcement.

The charges stem from an incident on April 18 when agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, attempted to arrest a Mexican citizen after a hearing in Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's courtroom.

Sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Dugan directed the ICE agents to Chief Judge Carl Ashley's office. During that time, sources said, Dugan allowed the defendant to leave the courtroom through a side door, down a private hallway and into a public area.

Milwaukee attorney and former federal prosecutor Raymond Dall'Osto said Dugan "should never have been arrested or charged in the first place."
"That's total B.S. It's politically motivated. It's using her as a scapegoat and a target," Dall'Osto said.
said he has taken clients down side doors in the past and that should not been seen as "nefarious."

7. Pre-trial prejudices

Levenson also criticized FBI director Kash Patel's now-deleted social media post on April 25 that stated that Dugan "intentionally misdirected federal agents away." She pointed out that the Department of Justice has directives against discussing cases publicly and showing pre-trial prejudice.

“Posting this raises its own questions about what the intention of the FBI is,” Levenson said.
