The White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt dealt with the possibility of prosecuting federal judges or judges of the Supreme Court who can prevent efforts to promote immigration. Asked if the administration would arrest a higher -level judge, including the judges of the Federal or Supreme Court, Leatt answered by saying that anyone who prevented federal efforts to enforce law is threatened by prosecution.
An obstacle to the federal enforcement of law
Asked by the reporter: “Would you ever arrest someone higher, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court judge?” Leitt answered: “This is a hypothetical question. Anyone who violates the law or prevents federal coercive officials from doing their jobs to expose their occurrence to the risk of being protected.”
Leitt continued: “… Let’s clarify what this judge did: she prevented the federal enforcement of the right to seek an illegal foreigner in her courthouse. She showed that illegal foreign doors were avoiding criminal proceedings. ”
This remark follows the recent arrest of the Milwaukee district, Hannah Dugan, who was released into the alleged help of an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, avoiding the federal immigration bodies.
Arrest Judge Dugan
Judge Dugan is accused of deliberate assistance to Flores-Ruiz, who wanted immigration authorities, escaped the immigration arrest in his courtroom. According to the honorary statement of the FBI, after Dugan visibly angry over the presence of immigration agents, allegedly ordered Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer through the back door of the court building to avoid enforcement.
The affidavit of the FBI describes Dugan’s behavior during the incident and notes her “confrontational, angry behavior” and its involvement in the team leadership from Flores-Ruiz. Reportedly, the team also led the team to the main judge before returning to the courtroom to mention the defendant through a non -public area.
Reaction from Governor Eps
Governor Wisconsin Tony Ever, Democrat, condemned the rhetoric of Trump’s administration and accused her of undermining the judiciary.
“Trump’s administration uses dangerous rhetoric to attack and attempt to undermine our judiciary at all levels,” Evers said in response to the incident. He expressed the certainty that the judicial system would be reasonably resolved in court.
Attorney Judge Dugan Craig Mastantuono expressed regret for arrest and claimed that “was not caused in the interest of public security”.
The legal consequences for Flores-Ruiz
Flores-Ruiz, a thirty-year-old immigrant, faced charges of home battery at the time of the incident. After being deported in 2013, he entered the USA. Despite the statutory accusations, Trump’s administration focuses on its immigration status.
The arrest of Judge Dugan emphasizes the growing conflict between the state and the local officials and aggressive policies for the recovery of Trump’s immigration as well as increasing the tension between the executive branch and the federal judge.
