## Milwaukee Judge Arrested on Obstruction Charges Amidst Escalating Immigration Crackdown
A sitting judge in Milwaukee was arrested by federal agents on Friday, facing obstruction of justice charges related to an immigration arrest. Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court was apprehended at the courthouse and is currently in federal custody, according to a report by the *Milwaukee Journal Sentinel*. While details remain scarce, the arrest has raised concerns about a potentially widening crackdown on immigration and those who assist undocumented individuals.
The arrest was initially publicized on X by FBI Director Kash Patel, although the post has since been deleted. The incident occurs just a day after the arrest of a former New Mexico county judge, Joel Cano, and his wife, Nancy Cano. The Canos face charges of evidence tampering and harboring an alleged member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. It should be noted that the current administration has faced scrutiny for using questionable evidence, such as seemingly innocuous tattoos, to link Venezuelan migrants to the gang, potentially leading to their deportation to a high-security prison in El Salvador.
These recent events, while short on specific details at this time, suggest a potential escalation in the Trump administration’s approach to immigration enforcement. The suggestion is that the administration may be expanding its focus to include those who offer any form of support to undocumented immigrants.
