John Cornyn suggests protests for arrested judge are 'misplaced sympathy'

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) contended that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan’s advocates have “misplaced sympathy,” urging that judges “obstructing the law” must be investigated.

Cornyn’s assessment comes after the FBI arrested Dugan on Friday. She was accused of escorting an illegal immigrant and his lawyer out of her courtroom through a jury door inaccessible to the public last week to evade immigration authorities. The Texas senator noted how Dugan is accused of “egregious stuff” over her arrest, which comes as President Donald Trump is seeking to fulfill his “mandate” of enforcing the nation’s immigration laws.
