Milwaukee Judge Indicted in ICE Case: Double Standards Debate Erupts

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted on Tuesday for allegedly obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, by guiding him out of her courtroom to evade ICE agents. The charges, concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings, carry a potential six-year prison sentence and $350,000 fine. Dugan’s lawyer asserts her innocence, while the indictment highlights escalating tensions between the White House and the judiciary over immigration enforcement. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended Dugan pending the outcome of the case.

Adams Faces New Criminal Conduct Allegations

Federal prosecutors allege the discovery of additional criminal conduct by New York Mayor Eric Adams, expanding upon the initial September indictment of five criminal counts including bribery and conspiracy. The prosecutors’ assertion, made in response to Adams’ request for more details on the charges, cites an ongoing investigation uncovering further involvement by additional individuals. Adams and his attorney, Alex Spiro, vehemently deny any wrongdoing, with Spiro criticizing the prosecution’s actions as a headline grab. The government’s refusal to provide more specifics is justified by concerns of witness tampering.
