Hannah Dugan, the Milwaukee County judge arrested Friday by the FBI for allegedly obstructing federal authorities who were seeking to detain an undocumented immigrant, was a longtime social justice advocate before she took the bench.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security suggested in a statement that Dugan is an “activist judge.” A statement issued on the judge’s behalf following her dramatic arrest said Dugan “has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge...

Former President Donald Trump will officially become the GOP nominee for president at this week's Republican National Convention, days after surviving an assassination attempt.

The four-day event kicks off on Monday, just two days after a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, grazing Trump's ear. Rally attendee Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed, and two others, identified as 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, were wounded. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sniper.

Joe Biden described himself as a black woman during a radio interview flub, as calls mount for the 81 year-old president to drop his re-election bid.

President Joe Biden's performance in a radio interview has attracted scrutiny after he made a slip about his race and gender.

The 81-year-old was interviewed on Philadelphia's Wurd radio station on Wednesday—one of his first interviews since his debate with Donald Trump on June 27, which was followed by sustained criticism over his poor performance.

President Biden sought to steady his re-election campaign by talking with two Black radio hosts for interviews broadcast on Thursday, but he spoke haltingly at points during one interview and struggled to find the right phrase in the other, saying that he was proud to have been “the first Black woman to serve with a Black president.”
