Federal agents arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday morning for allegedly obstructing an ICE operation involving an illegal immigrant.

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested Friday morning on charges tied to obstruction of a federal immigration operation, according to statements initially shared by FBI Director Kash Patel. In a since-deleted post, Patel accused Dugan of "intentionally misdirecting" federal agents who were attempting to arrest an undocumented individual, identified as Eduardo Flores Ruiz.

The arrest took place at approximately 8 a.m. inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Brady McCarron, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed the arrest to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and noted that Dugan is currently in federal custody.

The Journal Sentinel had previously reported that the FBI was investigating whether Dugan interfered with federal agents during an immigration arrest attempt last week. According to their report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at the courthouse on April 18th to execute an arrest warrant on Flores Ruiz, who was scheduled to appear in Dugan's courtroom.

A Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant "evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a social media post, which was then deleted.

Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges, according to Patel.

"The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction -- after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week," he said in the since-deleted post. "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."
...
Dugan appeared in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on Friday on two charges: obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.
...
Flores Ruiz was still arrested a short time later.

"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 said.

Ahhh...

I just love happy endings, especially the kind that makes my schaden-boner hard enough to shatter diamonds with. 

Suck it, lurking DUmp'Rats...

This article gives an account of Judge Dugan's failed shenanigans, https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/04/25/another-judge-arrested-for-obstructing-an-immigration-arrest-n3802135 . Basically, the ICE agents were recognized and Dugan was made aware of their presence. She went out to challenge their authority and sent part of the ICE arrest team to another floor in the building to speak with the chief judge. Returning to her courtroom, she rushed through her proceeding with Flores-Ruiz, and when finished ushered him and his attorney through a room not normally accessed by defendants which had a different exit to the hallway in which the rest of the ICE arrest team were waiting. They spotted him, he tried to flee, and they caught him before he could exit the building.
