Own It Judge Dugan
This sucks. Our Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan has resigned after being convicted of aiding an immigrant from the clutches of ICE who were waiting for him nearby. No need to name him because he is one of thousands who live in fear they will be picked up by masked men as they work, shop or just try to make a better life for themselves. It must be terrifying to live everyday in fear in this country that was built by immigrants.
Did she aid and abet? Yes. In my opinion, she did. So, the jury found her guilty and Dugan decided to resign, never admitting she helped this man out. I'm not sure whether she will serve any time behind bars. Probably not. Her old life is over and now she has some choices to make. Does she go quietly into the night, sitting at home, knitting socks or taking in some other hobby to occupy her time?
Or, does she confess to helping this man escape deportation and start helping others as well? Does she stand up to the wrongs we have witnessed by this Trump regime or does she fold and give in?
What she did under our latest laws was wrong. It's rather ironic that some people are being punished while the biggest grifter in the country is breaking the law every single day.
So, to the formerly known as, Judge Dugan, what's it going to be? Rebel hero, or self pitying coward who runs away at a time we need more Dugans and less Bondis, Millers and men in masks who chase after human beings who only wanted a better life?
