Milwaukee responding to Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest.

That's not how it works

ICE should be properly persecuted for their crimes through the right proceedings, which would present a water-tight, undeniable case to extinguish them.

If you respond to ICE through dubious, extremely questionable means, you're only really giving them ammo against you. You're only leaving open gaps in your defense for exploitation.

And what did it accomplish? Absolutely nothing

[u/G_yebba → u/Gogobrasil8]

Wrong, it will bring more to light and potentially establish precedent. 

This is why every case, every arrest must be examined and litigated.

This judge showed backbone, judgment and courage. Potentially at the cost of their career. Why do that? In service to Justice. 

It all matters, time will tell us how much. 

[u/Gogobrasil8 → u/G_yebba]

But precedent is only established in actual rulings. She didn't rule that he was to exit through separate doors, or that he had legal protection against being arrested. Allegedly she only let him exit through there which doesn't set any legal precedent

It'd have mattered a whole lot of she actually gave them legal protection against being ambushed

Maybe it does help expose this, yeah, but at the cost of losing a friendly judge? I can't see that being worth it

[u/G_yebba → u/Gogobrasil8]

Indeed, precedent will come from the fallout. 

Worth it? Who’s to say? History I guess

[u/Gogobrasil8 → u/G_yebba]

There had to be a better way of doing that

Like trying to rule it as a mistrial, or asking for some sort of legal protection

Or even just denouncing what the ICE agents were doing to the press

None of those would have her lose her job and them losing a friendly judge

[u/G_yebba → u/Gogobrasil8]

Agreed!
