The judge who took an illegal out a back door to prevent him from being taken into ICE custody in Wisconsin has resigned. After being convicted for ‘obstructing an official proceeding’.
Of course she’s playing both the victim card as well as the ‘independent judiciary’ card, which has now come to mean that the judiciary can override any action on the state or, most especially, the federal level.
“As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal proceedings, which are far from concluded but which present immense and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our judiciary,” Dugan said. “I am pursuing this fight for myself and for our independent judiciary. However, the Wisconsin citizens that I cherish deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31 rather than have the fate of that Court rest in a partisan fight in the state legislature.”
She caused the ‘unprecedented federal proceedings’ by helping an illegal escape out the back door of the courthouse. It didn’t just happen. And judges should be the most strenuous in upholding the laws of the state and country, not helping people circumvent them.
And regardless of the fact that she worked with pro-immigration organizations, including Catholic Charities, outside of her courtroom, inside the courtroom, only the rule of law should be in play.
The fact that she probably won’t see the inside of a prison is unfortunate.
