A federal grand jury in Wisconsin has indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on charges of obstructing justice and concealing an individual from arrest. Federal prosecutors, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have accused Judge Dugan of helping an undocumented immigrant leave her courtroom on April 18 to avoid arrest by agents waiting in the hallway. This month more than 150 former state and federal judges signed an open letter condemning the arrest. They wrote, “This attempt to intimidate the judiciary will fail. The American people understand that the Constitution of the United States has made the nation’s judicial officers the guardians of the rule of law in our country, not the President.”
