FBI Director’s Perp Walk Photo: DOJ Policy Violation or Intimidation Tactic?
FBI Director Kash Patel’s X post depicting Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest, seemingly violating DOJ policy against releasing defendant photos without a law enforcement purpose, sparked controversy. The photo, showing Dugan being escorted, followed her arrest and charges for allegedly obstructing immigration agents. Former Attorney General Eric Holder criticized the post as intimidating, while Dugan’s attorney argued the arrest itself was excessive. The FBI has yet to comment on the director’s actions.
