Wisconsin Judge Accused Of Helping Illegal Evade Feds Claims ‘Judicial Immunity’

 Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is claiming “judicial immunity” after officials accused her of helping an illegal alien evade immigration enforcement.

A federal grand jury indicted Dugan earlier this week on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings. Dugan allegedly attempted to aid Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials who waited outside Dugan’s courtroom last month.

“The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset,” a Wednesday filing from Dugan’s attorneys says, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Dugan’s attorneys said the charges, brought by the Department of Justice, violate the U.S. Constitution’s 10th Amendment about powers reserved to the states.

“[T]he immunity and federalism issues must be resolved swiftly because the government has no basis in law to prosecute her. The prosecution against her is barred. The Court should dismiss the indictment,” the filing states. “Since at least the early 17th century in England, and carried on through common law in the United States, judges of record have been entitled to absolute immunity for official acts with a few exceptions not applicable here.”

Administration officials have said that the case against Dugan shows that all are equal under the law.

Last month, law enforcement officials gathered outside of Dugan’s courtroom waiting for Flores-Ruiz to exit. Dugan angrily confronted officials before directing Flores-Ruiz toward a side exit instead of the public door in an attempt to bypass law enforcement, according to the complaint against her.

“Despite having been advised of the administrative warrant for the arrest of Flores-Ruiz, Judge Dugan then escorted Flores-Ruiz and his counsel out of the courtroom through the ‘jury door,’ which leads to a nonpublic area of the courthouse,” the complaint against Dugan says.

“Shame on her,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said last month. “It was a domestic violence case, of all cases, and she was protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime.”

Illegal Immigrant Teen Gets Off Easy After Killing Colorado Woman In High-Speed Crash

 A 15-year-old illegal immigrant in Aurora, Colorado, received probation and community service as part of a plea deal with prosecutors after he killed 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver last July by plowing a Jeep into the side of her vehicle.

After initially promising to pursue the maximum sentence of two years in a correctional facility for the illegal immigrant, Weaver’s father, John Weaver, said that the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office changed course after different leadership took over a few months later, CBS News Colorado reported.

“The DA’s office said this would be a ‘no plea deal’ case, so they were not going to offer anything; any concession,” Weaver said.

Kaitlyn, who worked at a drug rehab center in Aurora, was driving home and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend when the illegal immigrant teenager slammed into the side of her car, driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Footage from a Ring doorbell camera captured the crash, showing the illegal immigrant’s jeep speeding down the road before the massive collision. Kaitlyn was “effectively killed instantly,” her father said. John Weaver and his wife Michelle made the decision to remove Kaitlyn from life support two days later.

The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into the 24-year-old woman. The Jeep, which the teenager was driving illegally, was uninsured, and his mother said that he took it without her permission. The teen was charged with vehicular homicide.

Under the new Democratic District Attorney, Amy Padden, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty, according to Weaver. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.

“Why the change? If he had taken a firearm and recklessly just shot it and killed someone, this would be a different case. They would be pushing it completely differently,” Weaver said. “There’s no deterrence.”

“Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day in Aurora, and now I sit here today without a daughter,” Weaver added.

Brackley defended the plea deal, saying that before any plea deal is negotiated prosecutors consider “the impact on the victims and the community,” “the characteristics of the defendant such as age, culpability, and level of remorse,” and the “goals of sentencing, including deterrence, rehabilitating the offender, treating similarly situated offenders equitably, and holding each offender accountable.”

“The negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy,” the assistant district attorney stated.

RFK Jr. Buries Purple-Haired Democrat with Series of Inconvenient Truths After She Launches a Disgusting Smear Blaming Him for the Measles ‘Outbreak’ In America (VIDEO)

One of the most embarrassing members of Congress got completely schooled by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after she tried to blame him for the spread of measles across the country.

The corporate media has trumpeted the number of measles cases spreading across America to smear the Trump Administration, particularly RFK Jr.

These hacks see the rise of this infamous childhood disease as an opportunity to discredit the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda and create a new so-called scandal within the Trump Administration.

There are currently about 1,100 cases of the highly contagious disease in America, mostly from unvaccinated individuals who likely arrived in America illegally. But purple-haired Rep. Rosa DeLauro took the opportunity to smear RFK Jr. during a hearing before the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee’s health subcommittee.

“Measles, a disease eliminated in the United States just decades ago, has now claimed the lives of three Americans, including two children who died needlessly, and over 1,000 are confirmed to have contracted the disease,” said DeLauro in a transcript obtainedby Reuters.

“All while you peddle unfounded and dangerous vaccine skepticism, spread lies and misinformation about people living with autism,” she added.

This is a lie, of course. RFK, Jr. has indeed told Americans that they should vaccinate their children against the measles and has long said he is okay with vaccines in general as long as they are safe.

The HHS Secretary was rightfully angry over the disgusting smear blaming him for the outbreak, when he has no control over (the states largely manage childhood vaccinations). Moreover, DeLauro left out a series of inconvenient truths, which RFK Jr. was more than happy to share.

“Let me address your first issue because I want to correct you. We have about 1,100 measles cases in this country,” RFK Jr. began. The growth rate last year was 15 additional, so we have plateaued.”

RFK Jr. then dropped some more damning facts that may surprise Americans. Europe and Canada have far more cases of measles, while Mexico has the same number as the United States.

Moreover, cases in Mexico are rising fairly rapidly.

“Mexico has roughly the same number (of cases) with a third of our population, and they got 300 extra cases last week,” RFK Jr. explained. “Canada has more measles, 1,500. They have one eighth of our population.”

“Western Europe has about 6,000 cases, which is 10 times the number that we have. You are wrong about what you said earlier.”

WATCH:

‘YOU ARE WRONG!’: HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just PUMMELED the false claims made by colored hair Representative Rosa DeLauro on America’s measles cases.

She is fearmongering. RFK isn’t putting up with it. He brought numbers.

“He Totally F*cked Us” – Kamala Harris Aide Fingers Biden for Election Loss in New Book

 

A top Kamala Harris campaign aide has come out with a tell-all on what he thinks went wrong and caused Kamala Harris’ humiliating defeat in the 2024 election.

And it wasn’t her utter incompetence, apparent sobriety issues, cringeworthy behavior, or the destruction caused by the Biden-Harris administration over four years. Instead, it was all Biden’s fault.

We’re not defending Biden, but Kamala Harris was just a terrible candidate. The blame falls on the entire Democratic party for propping up a low-IQ, unelected DEI presidential nominee. Following a honeymoon period where the fake news media and Democrats propped her up, she flamed out when the American people realized just how bad she is.

David Plouffe, the former Harris aide, made the comments in an interview for CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson’s upcoming book release, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” The book is set to be released on May 20. 

“It’s all Biden,” Plouffe said. Plouffe further claims that Biden’s decision not to drop out earlier “totally f*cked us.”

Tapper, one of the biggest shills for Biden and his “sharp as a tack” mental state, is now seeking to profit with a sham exposé of the Democrats’ cover-up.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday on another excerpt from the book, which  details “Biden’s physical deterioration” and how Biden’s handlers considered putting him in a wheelchair. Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, even worried that the continued stress on Biden or one more bad fall might kill him. 

Also revealed by Plouffe was Biden's cognitive decline was so bad, he was unable to recognize actor George Clooney, one of his biggest supporters, at a fundraiser Cloony helped organize.

More from Politico:

Discussing the impact Biden’s withdrawal in July of last year had on Harris’ chances, Plouffe described the then-vice president’s less than three-month bid for the White House as a “fucking nightmare.”

“And it’s all Biden…He totally fucked us,” Plouffe, who was also manager of former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign and a senior adviser in his White House, told the authors of the report.

A spokesperson for Biden told POLITICO that the former president and his team have not reviewed the book and declined to comment on the excerpts.

The book goes on to detail how Plouffe would receive calls for donors concerned about Biden’s mental acuity and energy on the campaign trail. Plouffe said he tried to question the White House and Democratic Party about if they were confident Biden could win another election and was assured Biden was equipped to score a second term.

‘The View’ Panics Over Trump’s Plan To Lower Drug Costs, Mainly Because Dems Failed To Do It First

 The hosts of ABC’s “The View” complained about President Donald Trump’s plan to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans — but as Whoopi Goldberg laid out her objections, it appeared as though her main objection was the fact that Trump was doing what Democrats had not been able to do thus far.

Goldberg started off the conversation during Tuesday’s broadcast by asserting that Trump’s plan was bad because he had not yet specified which drugs he was talking about, nor had he explained which health insurance plans might be impacted by any new policies.

“Well, again, he didn’t specify which drugs he was going to target — or which insurance programs would be impacted,” she complained. “Because you see, if you’re going to lower the price of the drugs, you gotta first fix the broken insurance company,” Goldberg laughed. “Because they are — it doesn’t make any sense.”

“You know what though, I would think that you have to take money out of politics, too, because a lot of these guys in Congress, don’t they take money from pharmaceutical lobbyists?” Joy Behar asked. “I mean —”

“But there are lobbyists in other countries, too,” cohost Sara Haines pushed back.

Behar pivoted then to attack Trump’s appearance and weight, saying, “The guy has 153 rooms in the White House. He can’t have one mirror to look into? He’s always criticizing, ‘This one’s not a 10, this one’s a six, this one’s fat, this one’s — he said the friend is ‘highly neurotic.’ Hello? Look in the mirror …”

WATCH:

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out the fact that Trump’s plan was actually supported by some of the progressives in Congress — including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) because some parts of it mirrored a bill they were already working on to lower drug costs.

Griffin then said that her main issue with the plan was the potential for enforcement of lowered prices, which she said veered too close to Soviet-style price controls for her tastes.

Goldberg then responded by arguing that the infusion of socialism into the health care system — the raising of taxes on everyone to make sure that the government could absorb the costs of drugs so that those who needed medication were able to afford it — was not actually socialism.

“It’s not socialism,” she insisted. “It’s best for the country if everyone can afford their health care!”

Texas Says It’s Halted Construction Of Muslim-Centered ‘EPIC City’ Outside Dallas

 Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the state has put an end to all construction of EPIC City, a massive development planned outside Dallas that was intended to be exclusively for Muslims and where sharia law was expected to be imposed on residents when it came to fruition.

“Texas has halted any construction of EPIC City,” Abbott declared on Sunday on X. “There is no construction taking place. The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project. That includes criminal investigations. And, the US Department of justice is also investigating. This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.”

His statements came days after news that the Trump administration’s Department of Justice had launched an investigation into the project. Last month, Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R) called on the administration to carry out the probe, saying it was a discriminatory “religious settlement where Islamic principles govern not only daily life and education, but commerce.”

“A master-planned ‘community of thousands of Muslims’ could violate the constitutional rights of Jewish and Christian Texans, by preventing them from living in this new community and discriminating against them within the community,” Cornyn said. “I further encourage the Department to investigate whether Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslim minorities would receive equal protection under the law in this new community. Religious-based discrimination, whether explicit or implicit, is unconstitutional under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.”

The same day, Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he was investigating communications between the East Plano Islamic Center — around which EPIC City was to be built — and officials in the Texas towns of Plano, Richardson, and Wylie.

“If any local official is supporting or communicating with a real estate development that is under investigation for potential violations of state law, then it’s imperative that we are made aware of exactly what’s being communicated,” Paxton said. “We will thoroughly review these documents as part of our ongoing investigation into EPIC City and work to hold accountable anyone who breaks Texas law.”

The news of the Muslim development comes as similar projects have made headlines in Texas. Colony Ridge, a massive development outside of Houston, has become a breeding ground for crime due to an influx of illegal immigrants who have flocked to it. It is similarly under federal investigation and has been targeted by Texas officials, most recently with raids on illegal immigrants carried out in coordination with the federal government.

Abbott says the Islamic center is being investigated by a dozen state agencies, including whether or not its planned practice of refusing to sell or rent housing based on religion would break state law, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump Lauds Syrian President As ‘Attractive’ And ‘Tough’ After Vowing To Remove Sanctions

 President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Wednesday, marking the first time that top leaders from the two countries have met in more than two decades.

During the meeting, Trump pressed al-Sharaa to help the United States combat ISIS, remove all foreign terrorists from Syria, and normalize relations with Israel, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Trump and al-Sharaa, who overthrew former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in December, reportedly spoke for about 33 minutes.

“He’s got a real shot at holding it together,” Trump said of al-Sharaa. “I spoke with [Turkish] President Erdogan, who is very friendly with him. He feels he’s got a shot of doing a good job. It’s a torn-up country.”

Trump also called al-Sharaa a “young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong past. Very strong past. Fighter.”

The meeting came after Trump announced on Tuesday that he was dropping sanctions on Syria “in order to give them a chance at greatness.”

“In Syria, which has seen so much misery and death, there is a new government that will hopefully succeed in stabilizing the country and keeping peace. That’s what we want to see,” Trump said during a speech in Saudi Arabia.

Leavitt said that Trump was invited to meet with al-Sharaa by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined the meeting by phone. It was the first meeting between an American and Syrian president in 25 years.

“President Erdogan praised President Trump for lifting sanctions on Syria and committed to working alongside Saudi Arabia to encourage peace and prosperity in Syria,” Leavitt posted on X. “The Crown Prince also commended President Trump for his decision to lift the sanctions, calling it courageous. President Trump thanked President Erdogan and the Crown Prince for their friendship, and told President Al-Sharaa that he has a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country. President Trump encouraged President Al-Sharaa to do a great job for the Syrian people.”

Leavitt said Trump “urged” al-Sharaa to “sign onto the Abraham Accords with Israel” and “assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in Northeast Syria.”

The two also discussed their “shared interests” of countering terrorism and eliminating chemical weapons, according to Leavitt. Al-Sharaa, who has portrayed himself as a moderate, has previously been tied to various terrorist groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and Al-Qaeda.

“President Al-Sharaa affirmed his commitment to the 1974 disengagement with Israel. President Al-Sharaa concluded with his hope that Syria would serve as a critical link in facilitating trade between east and west, and invited American companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas,” Leavitt said.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry said during the meeting that Trump “affirmed that the administration in Washington is committed to playing a positive and constructive role during this sensitive period.”

Shortly after the meeting with al-Sharaa, Trump left for Qatar for the second stop of his Middle East trip.
