We have previously discussed the lack of a credible defense for Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who has been charged with facilitating the escape of an undocumented man being sought by federal officers in her courthouse. Indeed, despite having high-powered lawyers such as Paul Clement, her recent social media posts seem more like a pitch for jury nullification. One bright spot for Dugan was that she was assigned to U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, a liberal Democrat who has run for prior office and has been accused of bias on the bench. However, Judge Adelman just delivered a blow to the defense by rejecting Dugan’s claim that she had judicial immunity in taking her actions.
According to the criminal complaint, a six-person arrest team (including an ICE officer, a Customs and Border Protection officer, two FBI special agents, and two DEA agents) came to the courthouse to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican immigrant facing three misdemeanor battery counts they intended to deport.
He is accused of hitting someone 30 times during a fight that erupted over complaints that his music was too loud and assaulting three separate individuals, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
Flores-Ruiz was previously deported and then entered again illegally, a federal felony. He was issued an I-860 Notice and Order of Expedited Removal on January 16, 2013, and Flores-Ruiz was “removed to Mexico through the Nogales, Arizona, port of entry.” Not only is reentry a felony but when there is an order of expedited removal, you can be deported without any further court hearing.
After facilitating his escape, Dugan was later arrested and charged with obstructing or impeding a proceeding (18 U.S.C. 1505) and concealing an individual to prevent his arrest (18 U.S.C. 1071).
Calls for resistance and even replication have also come from colleagues on the bench. Monica Isham, a circuit judge in Sawyer County, not only defended Judge Hannah Dugan in an email to other state judges but added that she “has no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by [Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents] and sent to a concentration camp.”
Recently, Dugan went public with an interview that notably lacked any discernible defense, other than stating that she helps defendants use the “backdoor” when she considers circumstances that “warrant it.”
Judge Adelman ruled on that:
“Ultimately, as the Supreme Court has stated, ‘the official seeking absolute immunity bears the burden of showing that such immunity is justified for the function in question.’ I cannot say as a matter of law that the defendant’s alleged conduct falls within even this more limited version of immunity…There is no basis for granting immunity simply because some of the allegations in the indictment describe conduct that could be considered ‘part of a judge’s job.’”
The lack of any cognizable claim in Dugan’s public pitch suggests that she might be hoping for a juror to simply vote to acquit as a visceral or political statement. This is a liberal jury pool where jury nullification must be a concern for prosecutors even though such an argument cannot be made overtly by the defense to the jurors.

Judicial Immunity has no place in the context of criminal law. I can undestand its application to civil law but a crooked judge is a crooked judge and one we can do without.
“MEN DO WHAT THEIR POWERS FORBID”
Ah, judges.
The ethos of adjudication is impartiality, with fidelity and honesty being presumed.
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
The judicial branch has high criminally usurped and exercised the powers of the legislative and executive branches.
America is in large degree communistic because of the witting partiality, bias, and corruption of the judicial branch, which has acted not in support but to the detriment of the “manifest tenor” of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
From its failure to find secession not prohibited and fully constitutional (reprehensible slavery must have been allowed to “wither on the vine” or legally abrogated), through its grand imposition of redistribution of wealth in the forms of wholly unconstitutional Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Great Society, to its transformation of private property into public property at the behest of one Karl Marx, the judicial branch has failed America and the purpose of its Constitution, egregiously and in the main.
No constitutional article, section, or clause can be cited to allow the individual, specific, and particular welfare that constitutes Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Great Society, which constitute irrefutably unconstitutional communistic redistribution of wealth.
No constitutional article, section, or clause can be cited to deny the absolute and indefeasible quintessence of private property.

I think the quote from the judge indicates that she was leaning over backwards to be sympathetic. I can’t see any action by the defendant judge that encompasses a judicial function.
The judge is a he not a she. I.mzde the same mistake from the name too.
But don’t worry the guy is totally liberal, totally partisan and totally corrupt. Adelman will save Dugan and her career at the last moment. This is all an act. One corrupt judge is not going to fairly find another corrupt judge guilty. Adelman will play it so far and then throw the case against her out on a technicality. Case dismissed.

I understand why you are confused…all your time in DC you haven’t eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I’ve lived here for 33 years, and it’s a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety…but restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people…making people afraid to go out.
Cities and towns and rural areas of America need policies that allow small business to thrive and all people including immigrants to live and work with dignity. People shouldn’t be afraid of their government…government should have respect for its people, not terrorize them.”

Let’s be honest: she is nowhere near it and never will be. Trolls barely register as an annoying blip these days.
That the mods allow her nonsense every day is an act of generosity of nearly supernatural proportions.
“This report is from Fox, so it must be true.”
Something that has not been said of CNN or MSDNC this century.
“This report is from Fox, so it must be true.”
Because apparently people don’t understand this, the report is Fox5 DC (local), not Fox News. (Not to suggest that FoxNews is reliable in any way. National news is filled with lies. Local papers are filled with lies and coupons.)
It’s also worth noting that they’re comparing to last YEAR, not two weeks ago, which is what you’d expect. There was also a special “Summer Restaurant Week” that didn’t happen at the same time this year. The large drop in numbers are comparing days when the special event was going on last year to days when it is not this year. This is how they lie to you with statistics.
Yeah, during “Restaurant Week”, number of people going to restaurants is up. But you don’t get headlines saying “Restaurant attendance plummets” a week later, because that’s an “of course”.
What does you post have to do with the Judge Dugan case?
It truly amazes me how you low IQ people can’t stay on topic. The other things ntha amazes me about low IQ people is they all are liberal and hate Trump. Seems there is a connection to be found in that.
BT – Trump was repeatedly photographed eating at DC McDonalds during his first term.
Often buying burgers for everyone there.
If you are going to make something up – do a better job.
You should fear the Trump presidency – if you are a criminal.
You should fear it if you are a parasite living at the public expense.
If you are an ordinary law abiding citizen – you and you are afraid of Trump – you are delusional.
It si called TDS.
What kind of America is this when a Democrat cannot just openly defy the law without consequence? It’s not one that I will choose to live in.
What kind of America is this when the President of the United States defies court orders?
“What kind of America is this when the President of the United States defies court orders?”
Assuming that you’re referring to Trump, name one court order that was defied. You can’t. Odd that.
The judge said return all flights that were in the air. He didn’t.
That is one for you. Do you want more?
As that wasn’t an enforceable order (it wasn’t even an order), would you care to try again?
“Do you want more?”
Still waiting for the first one.
At least this man is tryin.
Biden took an oath to uphold the Constitution and yet he allows millions of people cross the border illegally? Now we are all paying for his broken oaths, his dishonesty. Generations will pay for the laws Biden/Harris (the Border Czar) broke. How about every registered Democrat be taxed 10% of their incomes to pay for the billions this one man – Biden — foisted upon the American people. And now, you, the righteous, can’t allow for a few mistakes but seem to closed your eyes to millions of them. How far will you run if asked to ‘cough up’ for standing behind your beliefs?
No that is Not what the judge said. Nor is what the judge said what matters. It is what he wrote – which was also not what you claim.
Regardless:
No Judge has jurisdiction outside the US.
The planes were outside the US.
No judge has jurisdiction over US foreign policy or relations.
SCOTUS has ruled that Judge Boasberg never had any valid jurisdiction over this case.
The plantiffs had a habeaus claim that had to be heard in TX – not DC.
Boasberg was trying to manufacture a non-existant leagal creature – a class action habeaus claim – which is absurd on its face – and SCOTUS said so.
I beleive on 3 separate occasions this case has in one form or another reach SCOTUS and every single time they have said – NO Judge Boasberg you do not have jurisdiction.
What you have established is that Judge Boasberg violated the constitution and the rule of law.
If judge boasberg orders you to commit hari kari – are you going to obey his order ?
When the likes of the NY DA gets elected on finding the crime to fit the person.
It’s the District Judges defying the Supreme Court and Justice Gorasch has warned them about never defying the Supreme Court .
Trump has not denied any court orders. The one Bozoberg issued was not only dangerous but found to be illegal. No one in their right mind orders an airplane to turn around in mud flight without knowledge of the flight plan, airplane position, fuel left and alternative airports. Of course we have seen repeatedly that judge Bozoberg is not in his right mind.
You really need to read more and keep up in current events before posting. It’s the liberal judges that are lawless, not Trump. They another news source other than known liars CNN and MS Now. Why the name change? Because even lying NBC was embarrassed by MSNBC. LOL
What valid court order has the president defied ?
Gigi, that’s a lot of comments for someone who has declared this as a “worthless” blog site. Have you considered just not coming here anymore, since you get your butt handed to you daily?
Trump ended 27 wars yesterday and saved Cracker Barrel and college football all before lunch.
Then he raised the Titanic in the afternoon before a night time sprint up Mt Everest.
You left out that he saved the whales from those killer windmills.
Got the murder rate down to zero and gas under a buck fifty also.
What? No golf tournament championship today?
What a slacker !!!
Sure, but will he be invited to Taylor’s wedding??
That’s the real question
Your family nust be so proud of you.
You do show them all your good work here, right?
I even heard he kicked Chuck Norris’s ass in a karate match too. Actually killed him with a heart punch, seeing this he then brought him back to life. All powerful President Trump, MAGA, Excellent work President Trump!
Carry on!
Well, facts prove other wise. But it doesn’t matter. All that matters is what trump said. So if he said the murder rate is zero and gas is under $1.50, then it is, facts be damned.
“Well, facts prove other wise. But it doesn’t matter. All that matters is what trump said. So if he said the murder rate is zero and gas is under $1.50, then it is, facts be damned.”
Just like you can change your “gender” purely by assertion. Hey, this is fun, being a retarted leftist!
Ha, ha …. glad to see humor still exists!
Gigi, you just can’t quit us, can you? Is it because you know that all of your beliefs are wrong, and we are right? Must be hard on your pea brain.
And thank goodness. I was afraid to leave the house when I heard Cracker Barrel had changed their logo. Thank you Mr President for saving us from that horrendous Cracker Barrel logo. I love you dear leader, Please help my skin turn orange like yours.

What ever happened to a judge who wanted al-Qaeda detainees released from Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba?
First it was the race card. Now it’s the ICE card. Liberals are the zombie apocalypse.
What a cleaver tactic to infest our judicial system with progressive, indoctrinated ideologues who would twist our laws to enable the destruction of our traditional culture and stymie the application of laws to suit their agenda. A brilliant plan and one that has proven to be almost impossible to undo. I am afraid for our nation as long as we have so many of these indoctrinated zombies inserted throughout our society. They, as we were warned by Tail Gunner Joe, are in our media/education industry, our government bureaucracy, in our institutions of culture (that truly started under FDRs WPA program) and it has seeped into our religious institutions and even half of our corporate board rooms _ (please refer to Bud Light and Cracker Barrel).
This judge Dugan truly believed that her ideology trumped law and she saw nothing wrong with that – that is the most scary part of this all – these ideologues are blind to the destruction they are enabling because they have been so indoctrinated that they are blind to reality at this point and see only the fulfillment of their utopian dream.
Whenever jury nullification is a possibility, I think of a judge potentially issuing/delivering a JNOV (Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict).
Most states allow this through motion filed by the losing party. Sometimes the motion is preserved by a party as a preemptive measure prior to jury verdict. And some states allow it for criminal matters (don’t know about Wisconsin?) There are a few places where it is allowed sua sponte on the judge’s own move. Knowing Judge Adelman’s hx, I wonder the result…
Judge Engmoron is on video bragging about all the times he has overriden a jury’s verdict in favor of his own superior judgement.
Really? I did not know that.
But I can remember rolling my eyes when he ruled Wisconsin’s photo ID law (for voting) was unconstitutional. (I was most happy when he was reversed by the appellate Circuit court.)
(^from lin.)
He also said he deosn’t like summary judgements and bench trials, because he “doesn’t have a lie detector”.
He does. It just keeps constantly beeping whenever he opens his mouth, so he assumes it must be broken. (It isn’t)
Lin,
Thank you for that interesting and educational comment.
I have heard of a JNOV ruling an acquittal when the jury convicted, but how often does it happen the other way?
“As ICE expands its operations in Washington, DC, buoyed by new funding from the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” Trump associates may already be cashing in. According to a new contracting document, ICE awarded $2.25 million for 25 Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs – about $90,000 per vehicle – to Hendrick Motorsports LLC, owned by prolific Republican donor Joseph Riddick “Rick” Hendrick III. The contract, rather than being competed and awarded to the lowest bidder, or purchased through an existing government program, was awarded under a sole-source contract, because of “unusual and compelling urgency.””
Nothing to see here, move along. The trump gang is just doing double what they accused Biden of. No big deal. This is all for the dear leader so move along. nothing to see, your tax dollars hard at work rewarding those that heap praise on dear leader. Money well spent.
Something much more interesting,
“Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected.”
“But you’re right – we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes, in random offices, in these bags and in other areas, which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”

Haven’t seen this loser in a while. Just as dumb as usual, Gigi.
Ironic, isn’t it, how the Left brays that “no one is above the law” until one of their own breaks the law?
Then all the equivocation starts.
History has been made my friends !!!!
Jeanine Pirro, US Attorney for DC, has announced that a grand jury refused to indict Sean Dunn, the desperate Subway sandwich bandit who supposedly “assaulted” an officer with his sandwich.
Apparently Jeanine Pirro is unable to indict a ham sandwich !!!!!
This will go down as a historic moment in jurisprudence.
Jeanine will forever be known as the first, and so far only, prosecutor who failed to indict a ham sandwich.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/us/politics/trump-sandwich-assault-indictment-justice-department.html
Subway should capitalize on this and rename the sandwich in question as the “Flying Freedom”
Subway could also introduce a 3 inch sandwich named “The Donald”.
The 2″ Tranny is a democrat fave.
It’s a wobbler. The grand jury nullified the felony, but she’ll come back squarely with a misdemeanor on all fours.
The only wobbling going on will be Jeanine as she finishes another box or two of wine.
And you are right
She will be on all fours.
I hear there is an acute shortage of boxed wine in the DC area.
Liquor stores have resorted to airlifting fresh supplies to keep up with the extraordinary increase in demand
Wow, you just can’t quit us can you Gigi? How much of a loser are you, anyway?
And yet another day of Gigi not being able to stay away from this “worthless” blog. If you need help ameliorating your uncontrollable urge to access this site, Gigi, just let us know.
On an unrelated point regarding “high powered lawyers,” the few persons remaining interested in the “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) presidential eligibility conundrum might benefit from reading a post analyzing the issue by former Solicitors General Paul Clement and Neal Katyal here: https://www.thepostemail.com/2024/04/08/a-critique-of-on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen-part-iii/.
The nbC issue is closely related to the 14th Amendment “birthright citizenship” topic now strolling through the lower courts on the way to “The Court That Counts,” so an ultimate decision there could well have interesting collateral impact on the nbC issue, one still not “settled” by the Court That Counts.
As Confucius is said to have noted: “May you live in interesting times.”
@anny – re: your topic nbc. Q: if life begins at conception, then couldn’t that baby (of non US citizens) be considered a citizen of the place of conception? That would certainly end “anchor babies” and the “birth tourism” racket in the United States?
The question remains since the 14th makes no mention, are cesarean-born citizens, too?
…perhaps. But note that it would not answer the nbC question. While all nbC’s may be 14th Amendment “citizens,” not all “citizens” qualify as “nbC’s,” at least as understood by the Founders. The “anchor baby” issue is related, but tangential to the nbC issue.

“Turley is not a practicing attorney, and he should know better than to speculate and insinuate about an incident he is helping to misrepresent.
“Judge Dugan was correct in assessing the credibility of the administrative warrant. As a judge, she properly asked if there was a judicial warrant, and that question is significant. Additionally, it is false to claim that Judge Dugan intentionally directed Flores-Ruiz to take the jury exit to evade ICE. Turley conveniently omits that the jury exit leads directly to a public hallway where ICE was present, making them fully visible. They had the opportunity to apprehend him but did not take immediate action.
“A judge has the authority to determine where anyone should sit in her courtroom. Judge Dugan’s decision to have Flores-Ruiz sit in the jury box is irrelevant.
“Turley is promoting the misleading narrative that Judge Dugan deliberately tried to assist Flores-Ruiz, which is a blatant lie pushed by the Trump administration and supported by Turley and other right-wing commentators.
“The actual facts of the case will emerge in court, and it will become evident that there is no case against Judge Dugan. This situation is intended to intimidate other judges and smear those on the left as supporters of criminals.”
Lets not forget that George/Svelaz, now known as X, can’t define perjury or desecration, doesnt know what the statute of limitations is, thought Rahimi was a winner, predicted Harris would win, predicted Hunter would win, and thinks that 22,000 people crossing means the border is open, though NONE were allowed to stay.
