The FBI has arrested a state circuit court judge in Wisconsin over her alleged obstruction of immigration agents' attempt to arrest someone scheduled to appear in her courtroom, Bureau Director Kash Patel announced Friday.
In a now-deleted post to X, Patel said that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan had been charged and taken into custody Friday because of "evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week,” per The Independent. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported earlier this week that the FBI was looking into whether the jurist, who has served on the bench since 2016, had tried to assist an undocumented immigrant evade an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest.
