Democrats chose a hill to die on—they will defend the last violent, human-trafficking Central American gangbanger escape from ICE no matter what the cost.
According to documents leaked by conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell, a Department of Administration (DOA) memo dated April 18 lays out explicit steps for state workers to follow when ICE agents arrive at government buildings.
Instead of cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, employees are being told to stonewall — refuse to answer questions, deny access to files, and even demand agents leave if no attorney is available.
The outrageous memo directs state employees to treat federal agents like unwanted intruders rather than trusted law enforcement partners.
Among the so-called “guidance” given to state workers:
- Refuse to answer any questions, even about known individuals ICE is seeking.
- Deny agents access to paper files and computers, even if they present a warrant.
- Block agents from entering non-public areas, unless they produce a judicial warrant.
- Demand agents sit in isolated public areas and force them to wait indefinitely while contacting attorneys.
- Order agents to leave and return later if a state lawyer isn’t immediately reachable.
In short, employees are ordered to stall, obstruct, and protect illegal aliens — even if those aliens are dangerous criminals wanted by the federal government.
In an email to staff, Deputy Secretary Hanson admitted that this scheme was crafted in response to growing fears among Wisconsin’s liberal bureaucrats who, rather than upholding the law, are worried about inadvertently cooperating with ICE.
“We have received questions from state employees regarding what to do in case of an encounter with federal agents at work. Similar to other public entities that have issued guidance, we are providing the enclosed information.
If you should encounter U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or other federal agents at work, please refer to the enclosed guidance.
While we hope it won’t be necessary to put this guidance into practice, please do your part to be prepared and have contact information for your agency Office of Legal Counsel readily available.”

This is not governance—it’s rebellion. The Governor’s directive is a direct challenge to the supremacy of federal immigration law and an insult to every law-abiding American. By coaching state employees to obstruct ICE, Wisconsin’s leadership is complicity aiding and abetting illegal immigration.
Evers should take a hard look at what happens when you obstruct ICE — just ask radical Judge Hannah Dugan.
Dugan now faces federal charges for “obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States” under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1505, and for “concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest” under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1071. Her crime? Helping a violent illegal alien from Mexico evade arrest by federal authorities.
