The trial of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan begins today with jury selection. Dugan is accused of helping a migrant appearing in her courtroom evade a planned immigration arrest. Why it matters: The case has drawn significant attention as the Trump administration ramps up its efforts to carry out immigration arrests at courthouses and escalates confrontations with federal judges over rulings blocking parts of the president's agenda. Context: Dugan was charged in April with obstruction and concealing an individual wanted for arrest. Judges are generally immune from civil lawsuits connected to their formal responsibilities, but U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman in Wisconsin found that immunity does not extend to criminal cases setting the stage for today's trial. The lawyers: Steven Biskupic for Dugan; Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Frohling for the government. |

—2nd Circuit Judge Denny Chin during arguments in sculptor Michael Hayden's bid to revive his copyright case against pop artist Jeff Koons. Hayden's lawyers asked the court to overturn a ruling that he waited too long to bring the case, telling the court that Hayden could not have known of the alleged infringement in 1989 before 2019. The judges appeared skeptical of that argument. Read more about the arguments here. |
