A Wisconsin judge was detained by the FBI on Friday morning for allegedly concealing an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported in the jury chamber to prevent him from being taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
A criminal complaint alleges that Judge Hannah Dugan of Milwaukee County Circuit Court hid the migrant from ICE officials, leading to her detention and charges of obstruction of an official procedure. She was also accused of hiding someone in order to avoid being found and taken into custody.
After Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national without documentation, appeared in criminal court before Dugan on April 18 to face three misdemeanor battery charges for allegedly beating up two persons, federal officers from ICE, FBI, CBP, and DEA attempted to detain him.
In order to aid Flores-Ruiz avoid arrest, the lawsuit claims that Dugan ordered the cops to go to the chief judge's office and, once his hearing was over, took him and his lawyer out a restricted jury door, avoiding the public area where agents were waiting.
From Fox News: Dugan appeared in federal court in Milwaukee on Friday and made no public comments during the brief hearing, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told the court: "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety." Her next court appearance is May 15.
In a statement, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, accused the Trump administration of removing judges who don't rule in its favor and of repeatedly using "dangerous rhetoric to attack and attempt to undermine our judiciary at every level, including disobeying the highest court in the land."
"I will continue to put my faith in our justice system as this situation plays out in the court of law," he said.
