Investing.com -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday. The charges brought against Judge Dugan relate to obstruction of an immigration arrest operation that took place last week. FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement, highlighting the agency’s action in response to the alleged interference with federal law enforcement activities.

"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," Patel commented.

"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," he added.

On Thursday evening, the FBI arrested former Doña Ana County, New Mexico judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, for harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, who is an alleged Tren de Aragua member.
