The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation says agents in Milwaukee, Wisconsin have arrested a state circuit court judge on charges of obstructing immigration agents who went to her courtroom to arrest someone who was scheduled to appear there.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), FBI Director Kash Patel said Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court was taken into custody on Friday based on what he described as “evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.”

“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,” he said.

1. I wonder if Ruiz was armed and a real threat to the public like ICE is?

Patel added that the agents were able to take Ruiz into custody nonetheless but he also claimed that Judge Dugan had “created increased danger to the public” by what he called her “obstruction.”

2. so was the only evidence to arrest from what this blowhard said on his talk show?

Or is it backed up by evidence? I wonder if we'll ever know.

4. Judging by the name, I would guess the evidence is that he is not white like Patel is.
