Officials said Milwaukee County circuit judge Hannah Dugan refused to turn over a man after immigration agents showed up to arrest him in her courtroom and that she tried to help him evade capture by allowing him to exit through a jury door. Donald Trump, who is trying to reach record levels of removals, has taken dramatic steps to strip legal immigration status from thousands of people. The administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen “with no meaningful process,” a federal judge said, as the child’s father sought to have his daughter returned to the United States. Some universities are advising students on how they can withstand the administration’s immigration crackdown.
