A memo from Wisconsin Democrat Gov. Tony Evers’ administration gave explicit instructions for state employees to follow when encountering ICE agents at their workplace.
Conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell exclusively reported on the memo.
“On Monday, I reported exclusively that Democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ (@GovEvers) Department of Administration instructed all state employees to help illegal aliens evade arrest by ICE. Now a Milwaukee County judge has been arrested for doing just that,” O’Donnell wrote.

“I can confirm that our @FBI agents just arrested Hannah Dugan – a county judge in Milwaukee – for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest by @ICEgov,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
“No one is above the law,” she added.

From the Associated Press:
Anne Hanson, deputy secretary at Evers’ Department of Administration, said in the email to state employees that the guidance was sent after receiving questions about how to respond if Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents or other federal agents show up at their workplace.
The five-point memo tells state employees to remain calm and immediately notify their supervisor. After asking agents to identify themselves and to present documentation of why they are there, the guidance says the state worker should contact their office’s attorney.
The memo advises state employees not to answer questions from agents, not to give them permission to enter nonpublic areas and not to give them access to paper files or computer systems without first talking with an attorney.
Every Wisconsin state employee has a responsibility to protect confidential data and information, the memo said.
“Because of this, state employees may not grant ICE or another agent access to any such data or information absent authorization from their legal counsel pursuant to a valid judicial warrant,” the guidance concludes.
“If he does not rescind this directive, state employees will have to choose between federal arrest for shielding illegal aliens from ICE or disobeying a direct order from their boss to shield illegal aliens from ICE,” O’Donnell said.
“If I were a State of Wisconsin employee, this would seem to be a pretty easy choice. But this memo does raise a very pertinent question:: Just how many illegal aliens is the State of Wisconsin employing in violation of federal law?” he added.

Per CBS News:
Hanson, the Evers official, says that the guidance was offered similar to what other public entities have done.
The recommendations are similar to guidance that Connecticut’s Democratic governor issued in January. The guidelines also mirror what the National Immigration Law Center and other advocacy groups have said should be done when immigration officials show up at a workplace.
Similar to the Wisconsin guidance, the National Immigration Law Center advises employees to contact an attorney, not speak to federal agents and not allow them into a private part of the workplace unless they have a judicial warrant.
Republicans tried to use the memo against Evers, who has yet to say whether he will seek a third term next year in the swing state.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents northern Wisconsin and is considering a run for governor in 2026, said the memo amounts to “ordering state employees to block ICE from doing their job.”
“Wisconsin deserves better,” Tiffany posted on X. He copied U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on his message.
Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Brian Schimming called it an order to “impede justice.”
