A Wisconsin judge has been arrested by federal authorities after allegedly trying to help an undocumented immigrant who showed up at her courthouse avoid arrest.
According to foreign media, the US Marshals Service told the BBC's American partner, CBS News, that officers took Milwaukee County District Judge Hannah Dugan into custody on Friday morning.
In a post on the social media platform 'X', which was deleted minutes later, FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that Dugan allowed Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national facing three misdemeanor charges stemming from a fight, to escape from her courtroom.
Flores-Ruiz was later arrested and appeared in Milwaukee court for a hearing scheduled for April 18, writes A2 CNN.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were also in the courtroom that day and that Dugan directed Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to a side door to exit the courtroom. (A2 Televizion)
