US officials arrested Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan on obstruction charges related to an immigration enforcement operation, sparking a dispute between President Donald Trump’s administration and local officials. FBI director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest in a social media post, later deleted. Dugan was apprehended at her workplace, the Milwaukee County courthouse. The arrest follows a memo from the Justice Department urging prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against officials impeding immigration enforcement, citing fraud or harboring undocumented immigrants. Patel mentioned in his post that the arrest was linked to the pursuit of Eduardo Flores Ruiz, described as an “illegal alien,” who was later captured. Records show Ruiz appeared in Dugan’s courtroom for a battery case. This incident underscores the escalating tensions between federal and local authorities over immigration policies, highlighting the enforcement actions being taken and the legal consequences faced by those obstructing such operations. The developments in this case shed light on the complexities and controversies surrounding immigration enforcement at various governmental levels.
