Judge Clears Phoenix Police to Discipline Sergeant in Protest Case
Description
Federal Judge Approves Phoenix Police Disciplinary Hearing for Sergeant Dusten Mullen Over Student Protest Incident
A federal judge has given the green light for the Phoenix Police Department to proceed with a disciplinary hearing for Sergeant Dusten Mullen, who was involved in a student anti-ICE protest on January 30th. The controversy escalated when a Chandler police report revealed Mullens statements about instigating an assault from teen protesters during the event. Mullen argued that the hearing would lead to his termination and cause harm, but Judge Susan Brnovich dismissed these claims as speculation. The city aims to resolve the matter swiftly through a Loudermill hearing, where Mullen can respond to the charges before any punishment. Meanwhile, Mullens lawsuit against the city, police, and a councilwoman continues, alleging free speech violations and a vague policy punishing off-duty expression. The city plans to respond soon, so stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
