The Spin
Republican narrative
Prosecuting Dugan sends a clear message that no one is above the law. Her actions deliberately obstructed federal law enforcement officers, and she put public safety at risk by attempting to let a violent criminal loose on the streets. She must be held accountable for her failure to uphold the rule of law and protect Americans.
Democratic narrative
This prosecution is a politically motivated attack on judicial independence and local authority, and it threatens the trust between courts and immigrant communities. The Trump administration is dangerously escalating its efforts to intimidate judges and chill opposition to its controversial policies by expanding its immigration crackdown beyond the immigrants in question.
