The FBI has arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge on charges of obstruction after federal law enforcement officials alleged she misled investigators attempting to arrest an illegal immigrant.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday announced the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan following “evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.”
“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,” Patel wrote in a Friday post X that was briefly removed and then reinstated.
“Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public,” Patel added.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi also confirmed the arrest on X.
