Trump, Bondi Target Judges Over Immigration Cases

The Trump administration has intensified its crackdown on judges accused of impeding federal immigration enforcement, with federal agents arresting Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade ICE arrest at her courthouse. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that judges who assist migrants in avoiding law enforcement will be prosecuted, labeling them as 'deranged.' Dugan now faces charges of obstruction and concealing an individual to prevent arrest. In a separate case, former New Mexico Judge Jose Cano is accused of harboring members of a Venezuelan gang. President Trump has publicly called for the impeachment of judges who rule against his immigration initiatives, drawing criticism from judicial leaders and raising concerns about a potential chilling effect on immigrants' access to courts. These developments highlight escalating tensions between the executive branch and judiciary over immigration policy enforcement.
