FBI agents arrested a Melucoki judge on Friday Imported immigration agentsHe said that she had been documented by a side door in the courtroom, while the agents waited to arrest him at a public entrance.
The decision to accuse the state court judge is a major escalation in the Battle of the Trump administration with the local authorities for deportation. The administration called, according to a threat to investigation or prosecution, that local officials do not hinder federal efforts to deport millions of immigrants who have no documents, and the detention sent a message that the administration intends to take a more difficult line with those who do so.
The judge’s arrest, Hana DoganIt comes months after the high tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary. President Trump and the most important advisers repeatedly attacked the “local judges” to stop or interrogate the measures taken by the administration, especially when it comes to immigration issues.
Mr. Trump’s campaign to collect and deport large numbers of immigrants has also led to other conflicts with federal judges, especially because of his use of the law of foreign enemies to send Venezuelan outside the country.
In the case of Milwoki, the documents described the accusation of confrontation last Friday in the judge’s court, in which Federal agents said it was “clearly disturbed and has angry and angry” when a group of his countryman came from his countryman in resisting the hall.
According to the criminal complaint, the judge faced the agents and asked them to speak to the chief judge in the court. Then she returned to the courtroom.
“Although he was notified of the administrative issuance of the arrest of Flores Ruiz, Judge Dogan accompanied Flores Ruiz and his lawyer from the courtroom through” the jury door, “which leads to an irregular area in the court.
The Anti -Narcotics Administration agent, Mr. Flores Ruiz, monitored the building and the most dangerous of his colleagues, according to the complaint. The agents approached him on the street outside the court. “This was followed by the chase of the foot,” the complaint said. The complaint said: “The agents Flores Ruiz have followed throughout the court’s length,” before hunting and arresting him.
The judge was accused of obstructing a federal agency, and hiding the individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.
Shortly after his appearance as a defendant at the Federal Court of Milwoki, which was revealed about a mile of its own court, the judge was released based on her own recognition.
In a statement, the defense team told the judge that it will fight the charges.
The statement said: “Judge Dogan will defend herself strongly, and she is looking to absolve her,” she said, adding that she rented Stephen Pescopoth, a former American lawyer, to represent her. “Judge Hana C. Dogan adhered to the rule of law and the principles of due legal procedures throughout her career as a lawyer and a judge.”
The office was arrested by Judge Dogan on suspicion that she “made a mistake in intentionally directing federal agents”, Cash Patel, director of the FBI, Books on social media Friday, before not charged.
David Crowley, CEO of Milwoki Province, criticized the FBI treatment of the case.
He said in a statement, “It is clear that the FBI establishes this position to present an example of it and others throughout the country who oppose their attack on the judicial system and the laws of our nation’s migration,” he said in a statement.
The governor of the Democratic State of Wisconsin, Tony Evepers, has also raised concerns about how the Trump administration treated the judges. “Unfortunately, we have seen in recent months that the President and the Trump administration are using a dangerous dangerous speech to attack and try to undermine our judicial authority at every level, including disobeying the highest court on the ground and the threat to dismiss and remove judges who do not judge in their favor.”
Pam Bondi, the public prosecutor, defended the arrest of the judge, and Fox News told that when someone hinders justice by “accompanying the criminal defendant from a back door, he will not be tolerated.”
Mrs. Bondi said: “It does not matter who you are, you will be prosecuted.”
Mrs. Bondi also discussed the arrest of a former judge in New Mexico, and was charged with obstruction for securing two federal people who said he was a member of the Venezuelan gang.
She said, “Some of these judges believe that they are above the law. They are not.” “We will come after you and judge you. We will find you.”
The reaction of Christopher A. Wellburn, head of the National Criminal Defense Association, with a warning to arrest the judge, saying that American democracy “depends on the independence of the judiciary.”
He added: “The retaliatory work of the executive branch that seems to undermine this basis requires our fixed and resounding response.”
Carl Ashley, chief judge in Milwoki Province, said in a statement that the penis of Judge Dogan would deal with him by another law in the court and refused to comment more.
The Trump administration has pledged to investigate and trial local officials who do not help to enforce federal immigration, condemning what they call “resort cities” for not doing more to help federal concerns and deport millions of immigrants that are not documented.
There is no accurate legal definition of the city of sanctuary, but the term generally indicates the places where local governments place restrictions on the amount that will help the federal authorities in the deportation efforts. While the differences over the enforcement of immigration are often political and political battles, there are also major differences in federal and local laws that contribute to various methods.
In the Ministry of Justice, senior officials urged prosecutors to search for cases in which the local authorities, whether they were municipal or state officials or the court, have tried to stop or hinder immigration agents.
The Milwaukee case includes a frequent flash point in this debate, when immigration agents try to arrest migrants who appear in the state court. Local authorities often flow into such efforts, on the pretext that they are at risk of public safety if people who deal with relatively simple legal cases feel that it is unsafe entering the courts.
The shipping papers against Judge Dogan suggested that she was angry when she learned that immigration agents were in court, and they called her “ridiculous”, according to one of the witnesses.
Initially, the judge asked the immigration agent if he was in court to attend a hearing, and when the client said no, the judge stated that the customer “will need to leave the court,” according to the complaint.
Then Judge Dogan asked the agent if they were in his possession a judicial order, which the agent answered no, he was an administrative order, according to the complaint. ICE usually uses administrative orders, issued by the agency to arrest people.
Such orders do not carry the same authority issued by an order issued by the judge, which means that people in their homes do not usually need to open their doors to immigration agents in possession of an administrative order only.
In the first Trump administration, a The domestic Massachusetts judge was charged On federal charges of obstructing immigration authorities. The fees were dropped After the judge agreed to refer herself to potential judicial discipline.
This case also included allegations that the judge had allowed the defendant by ice agents to leave the building via a rear door in order to avoid detention. The Judicial Behavior Committee in Massachusetts provided official disciplinary charges against Judge Shelly Joseph. I have denied violations.
