A federal judge upheld former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan’s conviction of obstruction of justice for helping an illegal alien evade ICE.
Dugan resigned in January after she was convicted.
In April, federal court judge Lynn Adelman denied motions filed by Dugan, including a judgment of acquittal or a new trial.
Dugan’s attorneys asked Adelman to reconsider, citing a case out of Virginia.

Amy mentioned this yesterday, but let’s revisit the simple lesson here about Hannah Dugan, the former Wisconsin judge who blocked an ICE operation by escorting an illegal immigrant out a nonpublic exit after she discovered federal agents were there to arrest him in April 2025. Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, 30, was in her courtroom on a domestic battery case. Dugan was arrested and charged with obstruction and was later found guilty.
She attempted to persuade the court to reconsider, even to grant her a new trial. Both motions were denied by Judge Lynn Adelman, who, by all accounts, is not a conservative. Here’s what Duggan tried to argue in her hail-mary motion (via WISN 12 ABC):
🚨 JUST IN: A federal judge has UPHELD the felony conviction against former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who was found GUILTY of helping an illegal evade ICE agents at the courthouse
Dugan now faces up to FIVE YEARS in prison, disbarment, and steep fines.

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that 15 Antifa-affiliated defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, along with several other charges related to the violent anti-ICE uprising in Minneapolis earlier this year.
A federal grand jury in Minnesota indicted the agitators for plotting violence against ICE officers during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities, dubbed “Operation Metro Surge.”
During a press conference announcing the indictment, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Daniel N. Rosen declared that “political violence is the scourge of our times” and said that federal law enforcement is dedicated to combatting that violence.

The Trump administration is making an example out of two former Utah court clerks who attempted to help illegal immigrants sneak out of a courthouse and escape arrest by federal immigration officers and avoid deportation.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Thursday threatened to arrest and prosecute anyone caught helping illegal immigrants in court evade arrest from Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a third incident in which a member of the court has tried to help defendants get away from federal police.
“We’re going to charge those,” Mullin told Fox News Thursday morning when asked about two former Utah state court clerks who are accused of trying to slip an illegal immigrant out of court unbeknownst to ICE.

Death threats continue to plague Department of Homeland Security officers throughout the country, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently arrested a Washington man who threatened to kill DHS officials. The suspect, Manuel Lozano, a United States citizen, threatened to shoot the federal law enforcement officers with an AR-15-style rifle during a confrontation in May.
According to DHS, Homeland Security Investigations was in pursuit of an illegal immigrant to be arrested when the suspect fled ICE and drove away in a truck on May 19. The illegal immigrant’s vehicle was later located in a residential area in Yakima, Washington, at the house of Lozano. As agents approached the house, they noticed Lozano, who they said was armed, with a pistol visible.

Mullin is a member of the Cherokee Nation and the first Native American to serve as DHS Secretary.
During a tense Homeland Security Committee hearing in the House on Wednesday, Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) confronted DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over alleged inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall, a federal immigration detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. Mullin is a member of the Cherokee Nation and the first Native American to serve in his position.
McIver, visibly frustrated, told Mullin: “Secretary Mullin, you talk about racism a lot in today’s hearing. You know what’s racist? It’s the fact that every detainee in Delaney Hall is a person of color. The cruelty runs to the top of DHS,” she went on, “weaponizing the immigration system for your president and this administration’s racist grievances.” Delaney Hall is an immigration enforcement facility in a state with nearly half a million illegal immigrants who are primarily Hispanic.
McIver began the interaction by asking Mullin if he had ever visited Delaney Hall, to which Mullin said no before going on to read an open letter signed by detainees at the Newark-based detention facility. The New Jersey representative read the letter, which detailed alleged unsanitary conditions and inedible food. DHS alleges that the food and conditions are fine and notes that those detained could leave at any time and head back to their home countries. They are detained while waiting for their immigration hearings.

Senate Republicans launched debate on their party-line immigration enforcement bill Wednesday — a major step after nearly two weeks of delay — but they are facing lingering internal concerns over a proposed “Anti-Weaponization Fund” that could still scuttle the legislation.
Senators voted 53-46 on party lines to advance the bill, which would provide roughly $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other Department of Homeland Security agencies.
An updated bill released Wednesday omits $1 billion in Secret Service security funding that had been included in an earlier draft and could have been used for President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project. POLITICO first reported the decision to drop the funding last month.
It also strips out Justice Department funding unrelated to the controversial settlement fund — a move that GOP leaders made in hopes of making it harder to include language restricting or eliminating the fund. Top Republicans have warned that adding such language could threaten to tank the overall bill.
“Right now, the goal is to get the base bill across the finish line, and so hopefully all of our members who have amendment ideas will … keep in mind the need that we’ve got to keep the bill together and make sure we’ve got 50 votes for it at the end,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said.

The move was in response to Republican opposition over the optics of taxpayers footing the $220 million bill for ballroom security and the Senate parliamentarian’s determination that the funding did not comply with rules of reconciliation, the filibuster-skirting process the party is using to bypass Democrats.
The updated text, released by the Senate Judiciary Committee ahead of a procedural vote Wednesday afternoon to advance the bill, also removed additional funding for the Justice Department.
The roughly $70 billion measure centers on funding federal immigration agencies and the Department of Homeland Security through 2029 after Democrats blocked money for the agencies in government funding legislation earlier this year to protest Trump’s deportation agenda. It is known as the SECURE America Act.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said the bill ensures DHS funding can no longer be “held hostage by Democrats’ radical leftist agenda.”

Brendan John Geier, a 26-year-old resident of Madison, New Jersey who allegedly sank his teeth into the arm of a federal agent during violent riots outside the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, was previously accused of distributing child pornography.
On the evening of May 28, ICE deportation officers were conducting security and crowd-control operations near the facility. A large group of demonstrators, including Geier, was blocking a roadway used for vehicles entering and leaving the site.
One agent, identified by prosecutors only as Victim-1, moved toward Geier, causing him to lose his balance. Geier allegedly kicked Victim-1 in the leg. In response, the officer struck Geier’s leg with a baton.

“This is a frivolous lawsuit. ICE is committed to transparency, and Delaney Hall complies with all required state and local laws.”
The Department of Homeland Security has claimed that a lawsuit filed by New Jersey officials against the private operator of the Delaney Hall detention facility is “frivolous,” saying that New Jersey officials have been allowed access to inspect the facility.
The lawsuit was filed by New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Raynard Washington against GEO Group, the operator of the facility, on Tuesday. The suit is requesting that a judge allow officials to have full access to the facility for an inspection amid allegations of unsanitary and unsafe conditions inside.

According to police, Saenz-Argueta used social media to contact a girl who was under 15 years old, portraying himself as 18 years old. Police allege that in November of last year, Saenz-Argueta met up with the young girl in a parking lot and sexually assaulted her.

A bid to restore funding to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and border patrol has been derailed by rows over a $1bn proposal for security measures tied to Donald Trump’s White House ballroom and controversial plans to create a $1.8bn “anti-weaponization” fund.
The US Senate will not pass the $70bn legislation ahead of a 1 June deadline set by the US president, Republican senators told reporters on Thursday, as lawmakers leave Washington for the Memorial Day recess.
It comes amid backlash from members of Trump’s own party against an attempt to latch funding for his ballroom project on to the immigration bill.
The plan prompted intense anxiety among congressional Republicans, who feared diverting taxpayer dollars toward Trump’s “East Wing modernization project” amid mounting cost of living concerns across the US would risk alienating voters ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Some Senate Republicans have also expressed concerns about a plan, announced on Monday, to create a secretive $1.776bn fund – which critics have argued is essentially a slush fund – to compensate Trump allies as part of an agreement in which the president and his sons dropped a $10bn long-shot lawsuit against the US Internal Revenue Service.

With Kristi Noem out of there, it seems like Homeland Security finally has the freedom to tackle the issues that really matter: namely, all those pesky comedians and their pesky comedy. Professional troll Ben Palmer has been on a tear recently with his fake ICE hotline, which real “patriots” will mistakenly call into to have their neighbors deported for crimes such as speaking Spanish in public or having people over to their house.
I figured it was only a matter of time before the real DHS took notice, and that day has finally arrived. A “Be On The Lookout” alert concerning Palmer has been issued, alerting law enforcement of his “online impersonation.” He’s accused of such crimes as wanting to increase his “comedic profession audience” (sic) and “indirectly act[ing] as an immigration official, although the notice concedes there is “no direct threat to life or infrastructure.”

Ryan Bruce Gaither Jr., 37, of Eugene, has been charged with assault on a federal employee involving physical contact and aggravated assault on a federal employee causing bodily injury.
An Oregon man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for an alleged physical attack against federal officers during an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstration in January. The incident occurred outside the Eugene federal building.
Ryan Bruce Gaither Jr., 37, of Eugene, has been charged with assault on a federal employee involving physical contact and aggravated assault on a federal employee causing bodily injury. The defendant was arraigned in federal court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty, the Oregon US Attorney’s Office said in a press release.
On January 27, 2026, Gaither allegedly spat on a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer on the Special Response Team (SRT) and bit a second officer, according to court documents.
Video footage of his arrest shows Gaither struggling with two CBP SRT officers while he lies on the ground, handcuffs tied behind his back. He can be observed shouting with an angry facial expression before being taken into custody. As he gets whisked away, an aggressive mob of protesters surrounds federal officers, screaming and hurling projectiles, video shows. A sign stating “ICE kills” was seen being waved in the air.

CT Mirror celebrated a gubernatorial bill signing May 4, claiming it would require federal agents to display their names or badge numbers — facilitating the already out-of-control doxxing against ICE — persecute ICE for defending themselves with lethal force, and prevent arrests at schools and churches. It appears that Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont might have made his disgusting accusations at his bill signing, when he claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are “brutal,” criticized Trump for referring to criminal illegal aliens as “criminal aliens,” and compared immigration enforcement to the historical Know-Nothing party, anti-Catholic laws, and “Jim Crow laws.” “Never before…has it been led by the White House,” he pontificated, ignoring the numerous Democrat presidents who explicitly aligned themselves with the KKK and political violence.
DHS was quick to respond to Lamont’s propaganda with a list of the despicable illegal alien criminals who were living in — and quite possibly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in — Connecticut before ICE arrested them. The aliens’ crimes include murder, pedophilic sexual assault, and child abuse.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani branded Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “cruel and inhumane” after about 200 anti-ICE agitators rioted outside a New York City hospital Saturday night where a criminal illegal alien with previous arrests was being held.
