Judge Arrested for Alleged Immigration Obstruction

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI on charges of obstruction after she allegedly helped undocumented immigrant Eduardo Flores Ruiz evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at her courthouse, though Ruiz was later apprehended. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest in a now-deleted social media post, claiming Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents. Dugan is under federal investigation for her actions. The incident has unfolded amid heightened political tensions over immigration enforcement and the judiciary's role, as the Trump administration continues to implement strict immigration policies. The case has raised concerns about risks to law enforcement operations and sparked broader debate over the balance of power between federal agencies and the judiciary. Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
