FBI Arrests Milwaukee Judge Accused of Obstructing ICE Arrest

MILWAUKEE, Wis – (Civic Media) – The FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on obstruction charges Friday after she allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant evade ICE agents during a courthouse arrest operation last week.

According to a now-deleted statement from FBI Director Kash Patel’s social media account, Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents attempting to apprehend Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a Mexican national facing misdemeanor battery charges, allowing him to temporarily escape before being captured.

Patel praised Milwaukee FBI agents for apprehending Flores Ruiz but warned the judge’s actions “created increased danger to the public”. The arrest follows escalating scrutiny over ICE enforcement at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, where agents have conducted multiple arrests since March.
