The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended a judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities. The FBI took Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan into custody on Friday morning at the county courthouse. She faces federal charges of concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest and obstructing or impeding a proceeding. The state Supreme Court issued a two-page order Tuesday noting that Dugan faces two federal charges and saying it is in the public interest to temporarily relieve her of her duties. Her attorney had no immediate comment. Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to chill the nation’s judiciary.

The Trump administration has told Congress that it intends to designate Haitian gangs as foreign terrorist organizations. That’s according to people familiar with the notification who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that haven’t yet been made public. Two of those people confirmed that the targeted gangs are Viv Ansamm and Gran Grif. The Trump administration made a similar label against eight Latin American crime organizations as it ratcheted up pressure on cartels operating in the U.S. and anyone assisting them. It indicates the U.S. plans to put similar pressure on gangs from Haiti.
