On April 25th, the FBI arrested Hannah Dugan, a circuit court judge who serves on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in Wisconsin. She was taken away in handcuffs, a highly unusual maneuver–specifically, Judge Dugan was handcuffed and arrested by FBI agents at the courthouse where she presides, during court hours. The arrest was conducted publicly within the courthouse premises. She was led out in handcuffs, a move that has drawn criticism from legal professionals and observers who questioned the necessity and manner of the arrest.
Because this arrest is raising ire in the legal community, we asked former judge Bill Blum to give us a sense of whether the Trump administration's behavior was unwarranted. Is this behavior a sign that Donald Trump is launching an attack against the judiciary branch of government?
