FBI Director Kash Patel has just announced the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, saying she intentionally misled federal authorities to help an illegal alien try and evade an arrest.

Ultimately, she wasn’t successful and she is now in federal custody.

Here’s the announcement:

Just NOW, 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.

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.

We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.

 
UPDATE: As I was posting this, Patel for some reason deleted his tweet. I looked and there wasn’t another version up yet.
