In a surprising twist, the FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan from Milwaukee County. She’s accused of helping an undocumented immigrant avoid being arrested by federal agents. Yes, a sitting judge is now behind bars herself.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, who posted about the arrest on social media (and quickly deleted it), Judge Dugan faces two serious charges: obstructing justice and hiding a person from arrest. The man involved is Eduardo Flores Ruiz, whom immigration officers (ICE) were trying to arrest at the courthouse.
There’s an old saying: “Lie down with dogs, and you’ll get up with fleas.” Federal officials claim Judge Dugan misled ICE agents in her courtroom, giving Ruiz the chance to run. He didn’t get far, though agents chased him on foot and caught him nearby. But the FBI says her actions made things more dangerous for everyone and interfered with federal law.
Right now, Judge Dugan is in federal custody, waiting for her first court hearing. The full details, like the arrest warrant and charges, haven’t been released yet. The FBI and Justice Department haven’t commented either. But one thing is clear: this is serious.
And it’s not just about one judge or one person running from the law. This case shows how the federal government is cracking down harder on local officials who don’t help with immigration enforcement. The message is loud and clear: “You can’t serve two masters.”
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, ICE agents came to the courthouse with a warrant and ID. Judge Dugan reportedly told them to wait until the hearing ended. But somewhere along the way, Ruiz found out they were there for him and ran out of the courthouse. He tried to escape again outside, but agents caught him not far away.
This case brings up a big question: Was Judge Dugan breaking the law? Or was she standing up for what she thought was right? Some say she crossed a line. Others may see her as defending someone from a broken system.
“Justice delayed is justice denied,” the old saying goes, but in this case, justice seems to be taking a surprising and dramatic path.
We’ll keep watching this story as it unfolds. Because when it comes to the law, “The wheels may turn slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.”
