"On Thursday, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of impeding a proceeding, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. For the uninitiated: the 66-year-old Dugan was arrested on April 25 of this year for her role in helping an illegal immigrant evade authorities. On April 18, 30-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz was in Dugan's courtroom for a hearing over battery and domestic abuse charges filed against him."
"FBI Director Kash Patel celebrated her arrest in a social media post explaining that 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. Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public, continued Patel."
"The reaction from progressives was apoplectic. Joyce Vance, a U.S. attorney under President Barack Obama now there's a scary thought and MS NOW legal analyst, quickly resorted to a Nazi comparison. From her Civil Discourse Substack: On Friday, we saw the arrest of a state court judge in Wisconsin. She was arrested at her courthouse and charged with interfering with an immigration arrest. The message is clear: If they can arrest judges, no one is safe."
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of impeding a proceeding, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The judge, age 66, was arrested on April 25 for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade authorities after an April 18 courthouse encounter. Thirty-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz was in Dugan's courtroom for battery and domestic abuse hearings when immigration, DEA, and FBI agents arrived to take him into custody. Charging documents allege Dugan misdirected agents, instructed them to consult Chief Judge Carl Ashley, and told Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer to exit through the jury door to avoid arrest. FBI leadership asserted her actions allowed the defendant to briefly evade capture, and prominent progressive legal figures reacted strongly, framing the arrest as a chilling precedent.
