Tap title to read story
Wisconsin Appellate Judge Pedro Colón claims the FBI arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, charged with obstruction and concealing an undocumented immigrant, is an intimidation tactic by the Trump administration. Colón, who describes Dugan as ethical and unbiased, believes the arrest aims to pressure the judiciary into aligning with the administration's immigration policies, undermining the rule of law and constitutional rights. He fears this will discourage court appearances and victim participation. Colón warns that such actions threaten the fabric of American democracy.
