On April 18, law enforcement officers attempted to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz outside a Wisconsin courtroom. Charged with domestic battery, Flores-Ruiz had been previously deported and was facing pre-trial proceedings. Judge Hannah Dugan emphasized that the officers possessed only an administrative warrant, not the required judicial warrant, and directed them to consult the Chief Judge. After a brief intercession, Judge Dugan allowed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courtroom subsequently, highlighting the importance of legal protocols and the protection of due process even in the presence of law enforcement.
Despite the presence of law enforcement officers, Judge Dugan emphasized the need for a judicial warrant, which was lacking in Flores-Ruiz's case, illustrating the complexities of legal procedures in such immigration matters.
After Judge Dugan informed the officers that they did not possess the required judicial warrant, she took steps to ensure that Flores-Ruiz could leave through another exit, indicating her commitment to due process.
