ICE is not detaining the judge.
> But Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., said Dugan is being charged with two federal felony counts: obstruction and concealing an individual. McCarron also confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse.
> U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi posted on X: "I can confirm that our @FBI agents just arrested Hannah Dugan – a county judge in Milwaukee – for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest by @ICEgov."

AFAICT, this is exactly what that would look like. She's been arrested by FBI/US Marshals, and a court date for her hearing has been set.
- whoknowsidont 1y agoArrested by the FBI on behalf of claims from ICE. For not detaining someone extra-judicially in her own court room. There was no need to arrest someone here, especially a judge.
- trelane 1y ago> For not detaining someone extra-judicially in her own court room. This is not the charge, fortunately. The charges are listed in the paragraphs I quoted.
- whoknowsidont 1y agoWhy would you expect the charge to spell out its own unlawfulness? Don't be obtuse. For juxtaposition, the "Cash for Children" Judges were issued a summons.
