The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit Judge on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media, accusing her of helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.
A law enforcement official told CNN that Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the individual from arrest
Mr. Patel, in a post that was quickly deleted, said Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from Eduardo Flores-Ruiz in her courthouse, allowing the subject, an illegal alien to evade arrest.
A chase ensued and Mr. Flores was apprehended and taken into custody.
The law enforcement official said Ms. Dugan is in federal custody as she awaits an initial court appearance. She is expected to appear before a federal judge in the eastern district of Wisconsin on Friday.
