Legacy Media Barely Cover Indictment of WI Judge That Tried to Help Illegal Alien Ditch ICE
Media Bias,Media Watch,Media Industry,Judges,Wisconsin
The arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan under charges of helping an illegal alien evade ICE arrest drew national attention, particularly on legacy media where the matter was presented as proof evident of an escalation by President Trump. But it appears that there is far less interest in covering the indictment of Judge Dugan in federal court.
What coverage the story drew was limited to tiny briefs. Consider CBS:
CBS EVENING NEWS
5/15/25 - 6:35 PM
JOHN DICKERSON: And in Milwaukee, protesters marched outside a federal courthouse. Inside, state Judge Hannah Dugan pleaded not guilty to charges she helped an undocumented defendant evade immigration agents trying to arrest him. Dugan’s trial is set for July.
