The Wisconsin judge indicted for allegedly that Judge Dugan assisted Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant, in evading U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during a court appearance on April 18.

Over 1,000 May Day Rallies Ignite Largest Labor Protests of the Year
On May 1, 2025, the United States experienced one of the largest coordinated protest actions in recent decades.

Known collectively as "May Day Strong," the movement brought together a broad coalition including immigrant advocacy organizations, civil liberties defenders, labor unions, legal professionals, environmentalists, and grassroots activists. Unlike traditional International Workers' Day demonstrations, the events of May Day 2025 responded not only to labor concerns but also to what many viewed as a deterioration of democratic norms and rule of law.
