Protests start in Milwaukee after a judge is arrested for helping someone avoid immigration laws.

A judge in Milwaukee, Hannah Dugan, was arrested by the FBI. People protested this arrest outside the FBI building. They think the arrest is wrong and unfair. The case is about immigration and a fight between the government and local people.

Judge Dugan helped a man avoid immigration officers in court. She took him and his lawyer out a special door. Agents caught the man outside the courthouse later. The government says local officials are stopping them from doing their job on immigration.

Protesters chanted slogans and held signs supporting immigrants. They believe everyone deserves justice and fair treatment. A politician said judges should check the government's power and arresting judges is not good.

Dugan's lawyer said she regrets the arrest and it's not for public safety. The governor said the government is attacking the courts. Court papers show Dugan knew about the immigration agents in the courthouse.

The judge faces charges for hiding someone and stopping a legal process. She is accused of helping a man who was in court for a battery charge. People are comparing this case to another case where a judge helped someone avoid immigration.
