Broader Implications for the Judiciary
The fallout from Judge Dugan's case has led to unease among her judicial peers, prompting discussions on the policies governing federal agents' ability to make arrests in courthouses. One anonymous judge highlighted the need for a protocol that guarantees individuals can attend court without fearing arrest for immigration-related issues.

She has enlisted the support of an esteemed legal team, including a former U.S. Solicitor General recognized for his high-profile litigation experience, potentially bolstering her chances of overcoming the allegations.
