Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan Arrested for Immigration Obstruction

Federal authorities arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on charges of obstruction after she allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by misdirecting federal agents during an immigration operation at her courthouse. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest, stating there was evidence that Judge Dugan's actions allowed the subject, an illegal immigrant, to escape, thereby increasing public risk. The arrest follows a directive from the U.S. Department of Justice urging prosecution of local officials who impede federal immigration enforcement. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between federal immigration authorities and local judiciary over cooperation in immigration operations.
