Congresswoman Gwen Moore Statement on Arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan

By U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore - Apr 25th, 2025 10:39 am

“I am aware of reports that Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning.

This Administration’s willingness to weaponize federal law enforcement is shocking and this arrest has all the hallmarks of overreach.

Federal law enforcement coming into a community and arresting a judge is a serious matter and would require a high legal bar. I will be following this case closely and facts will come out, however, I am very alarmed at the increasingly lawless actions of the Trump Administration, and in particular ICE, who have been defying courts and acting with disregard for the Constitution.”
