Common Dreams reported yesterday on the latest step in the Trumpist march toward fascism: "Federal agents arrested a sitting Wisconsin judge on Friday, accusing her of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media. In a since-deleted post, Patel said the FBI arrested 65-year-old Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan 'on charges of obstruction.'" Please sign our petition in support of Judge Dugan here. According to Common Dreams: "The FBI had reportedly been investigating allegations that Dugan helped the undocumented man avoid arrest by letting him hide in her chambers. "Wisconsin state Rep. Ryan Clancy (D-19) said in a statement Wednesday that 'several witnesses report that [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] did not present a warrant before entering the courtroom and it is not clear whether ICE ever possessed or presented a judicial warrant, generally required for agents to access nonpublic spaces like Judge Dugan's chambers. I commend Judge Hannah Dugan's defense of due process by preventing ICE from shamefully using her courtroom as an ad hoc holding area for deportations. . . . [I]t's clear that actions like Judge Dugan's are what is required for democracy to survive the Trump regime.'" Please sign this petition, which we will deliver to Judge Dugan through her attorney.  |
