Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul told WISN-TV’s Upfront, that people shouldn’t read too much into the state Supreme Court’s decision to temporarily suspend Judge Hannah Dugan — arrested by President Donald Trump’s FBI and charged with assisting an undocumented immigrant who was a defendant in her court.
Kaul and the justices characterized Hannah’s suspension as a routine or expected move, whatever the strength or weakness of the charges… and Kaul said it is not a sign of guilt or innocence in her federal case.
Kaul didn’t weigh in on the arrest itself but said the state might get involved down the line, depending on how things play out.
Kaul also backed Gov. Tony Evers’ advice to state employees in case of an immigration raid, telling them to immediately call a lawyer. Kaul called it a smart, common-sense step to make sure things are done by the book and that personal data stays protected. He thinks the criticism is more about politics than policy.
