A veteran judge in Wisconsin was arrested Friday after allegedly helping an illegal Mexican immigrant evade ICE agents in her courtroom, the head of the FBI announced.
Judge Hannah Dugan, who has been on the Milwaukee County bench for nearly a decade, was caught on an obstruction charge after being accused of interfering with the arrest of Eduardo Flores Ruiz last week.
"We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject – an illegal alien – to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a tweet.
Patel later deleted the X post announcing Dugan's arrest, for reasons that were not immediately clear.
Flores Ruiz, 30, appeared before Dugan on April 18 for a pretrial hearing on three misdemeanor charges.
ICE agents appeared outside the courtroom with a federal warrant for Flores Ruiz's arrest, but were asked by court officials to wait until the hearing was over before handcuffing him, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, citing law enforcement sources.
Before agents entered, Dugan allegedly led Flores Ruiz and his attorney out a side door and through a private hallway to avoid capture.
