    she was accused of trying to help an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

    Dugan is charged with concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings. She could face up to six years in prison and a maximum fine of $350,000 if convicted.

    Seems to me she was trying to ensure that this person got their due process and their day in court, not just an extrajudicial kidnapping and trafficking to a foreign concentration camp. She made a small gesture to help justice as it’s supposed to be enacted in the USA, and the regime is determined to make an example of her for it.

    The alternate exit she allegedly sent them to led back out to the same hallway where ICE was already waiting. An ICE agent rode in the elevator with the guy and his attorney from the sixth floor to the ground floor. ICE agent contacted his confederates from inside the elevator. They confronted the man while crossing the street in front of the court house. The man was arrested after a brief foot chase.
