At this point, I have to think the Trump administration is purposely baiting Democrats and their press allies into defending the indefensible, and the latest example comes courtesy of a judge in Wisconsin.

As RedState reported, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on Friday for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant escape an ICE arrest warrant. According to the charging documents, she directed immigration authorities into another room while she ushered Eduardo Flores-Ruiz out the side door.
Making matters worse was the fact that the illegal alien was in court over accusations of domestic violence, with his victims left sitting in the courtroom while Dugan facilitated his fleeing from ICE.

But as absurd as the judge’s actions were, the responses have been even worse. Democrat politicians have lined up to claim this is an act of authoritarian fascism, claiming that the separation of powers protects Dugan from the consequences of the law. Sen. Ed Markey even appeared to call for violence, telling people to “rise up” against the Trump administration.
That brings me to CNN, which has been wringing its hands since the news broke.
