FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday that his agency had arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges related to her allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.
“Just NOW, 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,” Patel, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“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,” the FBI director said.
“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.”
