According to a Fox News report, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan has been arrested by the FBI for obstructing ICE deportation efforts.
Reports say Dugan “intentionally misdirected” agent efforts to arrest an illegal migrant Dugan was hiding in her jury room.
From Fox News:
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding Friday morning after evidence came to light that she shielded the migrant from ICE agents, according to federal law neforcement sources.
Federal agents from ICE, FBI, CBP and DEA attempted to arrest the undocumented male following his scheduled criminal court appearance on April 18, federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
That’s when federal law enforcement sources say Judge Dugan demanded that the officers proceed to the chief judge’s office. At that point, they say the judge left and that the undocumented individual’s hearing concluded and that he had quickly left the building.
Fox News has learned federal law enforcement officials believe Judge Dugan willfully redirected agents and officers to the chief judge’s office so the illegal immigrant could leave the courtroom and evade arrest.
Judge Dugan will likely have her initial appearance in federal court in Milwaukee sometime on Friday, Fox News is told.
Dugan had disputed the accuracy of local reports earlier this week which claimed she had shielded the illegal migrant from ICE.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Dugan responded to the accusations in its publication on Tuesday, writing: “Nearly every fact regarding the ‘tips’ in your email is inaccurate.”
“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,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.
