The arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan should stand as a warning. Democrats say it’s a scare tactic to deter judges from blocking the crackdown. In a way, it is, but not on purpose. Justice being served should always be a deterrent to those debating if they should commit a crime. Dugan was charged in April with concealing someone from ICE to prevent arrest and obstruction. Federal prosecutors filed the complaint directly, bypassing a grand jury. Other judges will be thinking twice if they’re tempted to do the same. BREAKING UPDATE: Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan CHARGED by federal grand jury for impeding an ICE operation and attempting to hide an illegal immigrant. FAFO!!!! pic.twitter.com/ksbvYplUop — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) May 13, 2025 Local CBS News reports: The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan escalated a clash between President Donald Trump’s administration and local authorities over the Republican’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to make a national example of Dugan to chill judicial opposition to the crackdown. Prosecutors charged Dugan in April via complaint with concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction. In the federal criminal justice system, prosecutors can initiate charges against a defendant directly by filing a complaint or present evidence to a grand jury and let that body decide whether to issue charges. A grand jury still reviews charges brought by complaint to determine whether enough probable cause exists to continue the case as a check on prosecutors’ power. If the grand jury determines there’s probable cause, it issues a written statement of the charges known as an indictment. That’s what happened in Dugan’s case. Her case is similar to one brought during the first Trump administration against a Massachusetts judge, who was accused of helping a man sneak out a courthouse back door to evade a waiting immigration enforcement agent. That case was eventually dismissed. GRAND JURY: “On or about April 18, 2025, HANNAH C. DUGAN did corruptly endeavor to influence, obstruct, and impede the due and proper administration of the law…” They’re throwing the book at her. pic.twitter.com/gBQWlJLFSQ — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) May 13, 2025  

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just fired the two top officials on the National Intelligence Council! Acting chair Mike Collins and his deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof have both been removed from their positions. Whistleblowers had previously exposed these two as being “radically opposed” to President Trump — and Tulsi wasn’t having it! Check it out: #BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard just FIRED the top “RADICALLY anti-Trump” deep state officials from the National Intelligence Council, per FOX This is EXACTLY why the deep state fought her appointment so hard.

Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital. Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn’t immediately find contact information for Collins. Collins also has whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and “deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration,” officials said. They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials. As for Langan-Reikhof, officials said she has been a “key advocate” for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and is someone who whistleblowers allege is “radically opposed to Trump.” Meanwhile, Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned. The Hill added: It’s a big shift at an entity the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) bills as part of the “analytic arm” of the intelligence community, with tasks including coordinating with policymakers. In addition to the removal of the two aides, Gabbard also uprooted the council from its office space at the CIA, returning it to quarters within the ODNI. “The director is working alongside President Trump to end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community,” an ODNI spokesperson told The Hill. Good riddance! Keep cleaning out the Deep State, Tulsi! We appreciate you!

While we haven’t heard anything since April, HHS still hasn’t accounted for over 300,000 children who came into the country unaccompanied. Many other children came in with suspicious “sponsors.” As a result, the current administration tightened the rules governing the transfer of children to sponsors.

On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) warned against repercussions for his fellow Democrat lawmakers who clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a federal detention facility at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, last week. During an exchange with Fox News reporter Chad Pergram, Jeffries repeatedly said “they’ll find out” when pressed what might happen if the House Democrats involved in the incident were to be arrested by federal authorities or get sanctioned. REPORTER: “What happens if [DHS] were to go and arrest [Democrats who stormed the Newark ICE facility]?” REP. JEFFRIES: “They’ll find out.” pic.twitter.com/XqEOZjAo1f — Off The Press (@OffThePress1) May 13, 2025 Jeffries ultimately asserted that it would be a “red line” as the questions persisted. He also took a swipe at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin, who told CNN that arresting the Democrats in question was “definitely on the table,” pending an investigation. “It’s a red line. It’s very clear,” Jeffries said. “First of all, I think that the so-called Homeland Security spokesperson is a joke. It’s a joke. They know better than to go down that road. And it’s been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump administration. We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics.” The Daily Wire reported that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who is running for New Jersey governor and is protesting the Delaney Hall facility, was arrested following the security breach last Friday. Alina Habba, the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, said he “committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center.” DHS said two House Democrats who joined Baraka that day — New Jersey Reps. Bonnie Watson-Coleman and Rob Menendez — “stormed the gate and broke into” the facility. While the New Jersey Democrats insisted they were at Delaney Hall to conduct legitimate supervision, McLaughlin said in a post on X, “Members of Congress cannot break the law in the name of ‘oversight.’ All members & staff need to comply with facility rules, procedures, and instructions from ICE personnel on site. INCLUDING 24 hour notice.” House Republicans have introduced measures to punish the Democrats involved in the altercation, including a censure resolution against Rep. LaMonica McIver, another lawmaker from New Jersey who was at the protest, and a resolution to strip them of their committee assignments. On X, Pergram posted that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told a Fox News colleague he believes there “needs to be an appropriate measure taken” as the “video doesn’t lie,” a reference to ICE body-cam footage showing part of the confrontation between the New Jersey Democrats and DHS agents. He added, “I think it was wildly inappropriate for those members to do that and we’ll have to take appropriate action.”
