A Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant “evade arrest,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a social media post, which was then deleted.<\/p>\n

Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges, according to Patel.<\/p>\n

“The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week,” he posted. “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.”<\/p>\n

Dugan was arrested early Friday at the courthouse, a law enforcement official confirmed to ABC News.<\/p>\n

Flores Ruiz was still arrested a short time later.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he\u2019s been in custody since, but the Judge\u2019s obstruction created increased danger to the public,” Patel said.<\/p>\n
