Judge Uses Trump’s Immunity Case to Fight Own Arrest
Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested for allegedly obstructing ICE agents, is arguing for dismissal based on judicial immunity. Her motion cites the Supreme Court’s *Trump v. United States* ruling granting broad presidential immunity for official acts, arguing that a similar standard should apply to judges. The motion contends that prosecuting Dugan violates federalism and that her actions, even if construed as aiding the undocumented immigrant, fell within her authority to maintain courtroom control. The case has sparked intense political debate, with supporters portraying Dugan as a resistance hero and critics hoping for further actions against the judiciary.
