Why the FBI Arrested a Milwaukee Judge
The FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan last week after she allegedly tried to help a man evade immigration authorities in the courthouse. Wisconsin Republicans are calling for her removal from the bench and Democrats are calling her arrest an attack on the judicial branch. To get the details on what went down and what comes next — for the judge and our justice system — we spoke with one of the reporters who broke the story, columnist Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
