Fmr #Wisconsin #Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom to evade #ICE agents. A federal judge fined her $5k & cited her otherwise #law abiding life in issuing the sentence. Dugan, 67, was convicted of felony obstruction in December. Her lawyers argued that the #Trump admin sought to “crush” Dugan in an effort to ensure #judicial compliance with the ICE strategy of targeting immigrants as they showed up for #court hearings. [yup]

Seriously messed up #Louisiana #GOP races to eliminate an elected office won by an #exonerated man A man imprisoned for nearly 30 years before being exonerated won a landmark #election in #NewOrleans promising to fix a #judicial system that failed him. Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry & the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in. #law #NOLA #USpol #LApol
