“Every dispute between the Trump Administration and the judiciary these days becomes a political morality play about a looming ‘constitutional crisis.’ But the facts of each case matter, and most of the time they don’t support the crisis narrative. That’s the way it looks to us so far in the case of last week’s arrest by federal agents of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping an illegal [sic] migrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Judge Dugan was charged with obstructing a federal proceeding and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. A federal magistrate found probable cause for the arrest upon reviewing a 13-page criminal complaint. The alleged facts as laid out in the complaint by FBI special agent Lindsay Schloemer don’t look good for the judge.” (04/29/25)
