The arrest of a Milwaukee judge underlines the collision between Trump and the judiciary

When judge Hannah Dugan arrived shortly before 8 a.m. on April 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she did not expect to be involved in the offensive of the Trump government against protective cities, which was less arrested in a courtroom a week later because he presumably tried to deport Migrant -Evade -Evade -Evade deportation to help.

On the morning of April 18, judge Dugan Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a 30-year-old Mexican who had worked as a cook in Milwaukee for over 10 years. He lacked the status of a legal residence, but the enforcement of immigration falls under the state, not under local, responsibility – something that should not take into account the courts and the local police. The cook appeared for a preliminary hearing that was accused of attacking its roommates on the evening of March 12 during a dispute over loud music. It was a routine case for the judge who had 25 more cases on the docket that day.

She was President of the Milwaukee Bar Association. As a former legal professor at Marquette University, the Jesuit University of the city, she also headed the Catholic Organization for Migrant AID. According to friends, she took part in a seminar in Kyiv about American democracy a few years ago. Since the beginning of the war, she has never missed a protest to support Ukraine.
