Grand Jury Indicts Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : An affidavit filed by an FBI agent last month alleges Dugan led a man through a back door of her court room, intended for jurors, on April 18 so the man could avoid arrest by federal immigration agents.
48% : Since Trump took office early this year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested several people inside the Milwaukee County courthouse.
48% : On April 24, Milwaukee County's Board of Supervisors approved a non-binding resolution stating the county "stands firm in its opposition to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operating outside the limits of the law in and around the Milwaukee County Courthouse Complex."
46% : "When federal immigration enforcement takes place in our courthouse complex, it sends families into hiding, deters survivors of violence from seeking protection and discourages tenants from asserting their rights," Milwaukee County Board Chair Marcelia Nicholson said last month, prior to Dugan's arrest.
40% : But local leaders in Milwaukee County have pushed back against ICE arrests at the local courthouse, saying the presence of federal immigration agents discourages people from showing up to hearings and from reporting crimes.
36% : After learning that agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement had showed up to her courtroom, Duggan became "visibly angry," the affidavit says.
