The FBI arrested a sitting judge for ‘obstruction of justice’

submitted by https://rss.ponder.cat/u/bot

Federal agents arrested a Milwaukee judge Friday on obstruction charges for allegedly interfering with an immigration arrest. Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court was arrested in the county courthouse and remains in federal custody, the https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/breaking/2025/04/25/milwaukee-county-judge-hannah-dugan-arrested-by-feds-at-courthouse/83270885007/

. Kash Patel, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), posted about Dugan’s arrest on X. He has since deleted the post.

Dugan’s arrest comes one day after federal agents https://wfin.com/fox-national-news/ex-new-mexico-judge-wife-arrested-for-allegedly-harboring-illegal-tren-de-aragua-member/

and his wife in their home. Former DoĂąa Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were charged with evidence tampering and harboring an alleged member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. (The administration has used spurious evidence, including innocuous tattoos, to accuse Venezuelan migrants of being Tren de Aragua members in order to exile them to a notorious prison in El Salvador.)

The details of these arrests so far are scant, but suggest that the Trump administration is escalating its crackdown on immigration - and increasingly going after anyone who https://radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courage-to-be-decent

Ancient noblewoman's 5000-year-old remains found in Peru

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Archaeologists uncovered the carefully preserved remains of a noblewoman from the Caral civilization. They say it indicates women were valued members of the ancient society.

A team of archaeologists on Thursday said they had unearthed the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman in Caral, Peru.

“What has been discovered corresponds to a woman who apparently had elevated status, an elite woman,” archaeologist David Palomino told the AFP news agency.

Palomino said the woman’s remains were carefully preserved in layers of fabric, with a mantle of macaw feathers. It contained her skin as well as part of her nails and hair.

Preliminary findings show that the woman was between 20-35 years old and was about 5 foot tall (around 1.5 meters).

Trump denies aid for Arkansas after storms that killed more than 40 people

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA

Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.

More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.

Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.

Judge orders return of 2nd migrant deported to El Salvador

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan man deported to El Salvador, whose removal violated a previous court settlement, according to an order issued on Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Trump appointee, also ordered the government not to remove other individuals covered by the settlement.

The class action case from 2019 was filed on behalf of individuals who entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors and later sought asylum.

Carl Sagan was a humanist who strived to teach science as a way of thinking and interpreting the world. His 1995 book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon-Haunted_World
