A judge who allegedly helped an illegal alien evade capture has herself been arrested by federal authorities, just one week after another judge received a lifetime ban from the bench for harboring an MS-13 gang member in his own home.
Judge Hannah Dugan was cuffed by FBI agents on Friday after helping the individual “evade arrest,” according to a statement by Director Kash Patel. She is charged with knowingly misdirecting federal officers away from the illegal immigrant as he hid in the courthouse.
“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,” Patel posted on X. “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.”
The illegal alien, Flores Ruiz, was arrested a short time later.
“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,” Patel said.
Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge in Wisconsin, is the second judge to be arrested by federal authorities under Trump.
During the president’s first term, officials with the U.S. Justice Department charged Massachusetts Judge Shelley Joseph with purposely delaying ICE agents while directing a court officer to help an illegal immigrant escape his status hearing through the back door of her courthouse. The Biden DOJ dropped Joseph’s charges in September of 2022, but the state Commission on Judicial Conduct is considering potential discipline against her, according to Masslive.
Judicial leg-ups to illegal immigrants fearing deportation have emerged as a flashpoint in the roiling debate over how or whether state and local authorities choose to assist federal agents with apprehending illegal immigrants targeted for deportation.
Joel Cano, a former judge in the New Mexico court system, resigned late last year after federal agents arrested “an illegal alien from Venezuela and a suspected member of a criminal gang” living with his daughter in a second home owned by his wife. He “can never hold a judicial office again, be a candidate for a judicial office, and cannot exercise any judicial authority in the state, including officiating at weddings,” according to a spokesman for the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is exerting more control over federal immigration judges who are key to many of the deportation proceedings he hopes to push through over the objections of civil rights advocates.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review, or EOIR, which runs the immigration court system, has fired more than two dozen immigration judges since February in locations stretching from California to Massachusetts, a move that strips the ability of many incarcerated illegal immigrants to have asylum hearings before being deported.
EOIR Acting Director Sirce E. Owen said her agency is restoring “accountability so that the Executive Branch officials answer to the President and to the people.”
“Unelected and constitutionally unaccountable (administrative law judges) have exercised immense power for far too long,” Mizelle stated to the LA Times.
These are state judges and must be elected so they are accountable to the public. The problem is almost no one takes judge elections seriously. By the time you get to them, you just want to get out of the polling booth and back going about your business. The only people who take that part of the ballot seriously are ideologues both left & right. Unfortunately, the left does a much better job of getting their “true believers” in there and voting “correctly”. We must do the same! Same problem with local school boards! Yes, they’re nonpartisan (THAT’S A LAUGH!) and that’s why they’re done is some off-year way. That keeps the passion of partisan politics out (I crack myself up sometimes!). People worked so hard keep partisan politics out of the front door of education they didn’t notice it snuck in through the back door! (The state & localities allowed unionization! That’s how leftism snuck in!)

Good post.
Trump stole her dentures.
So Dugan is the second very recent arrest of a brainless left-wing judge. Hopefully the start of a massive trend!

One of several reasons I've been saying around here for 20 some years. We should be impeaching (lifetime) judges with regularity. Conservatives, liberals, tweeners, it doesn't matter! Impeach them.
Read between the lines of Justice Roberts statement “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,”. In other words disagreement with any judicial decision is right about there with telling God Almighty where to put it.
Here is a guy who would probably wet himself and cry to sleep for two weeks if any judge ever got impeached.
Lol...
“Trump thtole my dentureth...”
“Typical of today’s crappy reporting” — isn’t that the truth? Is it malevolence or liberal subterfuge? Plain old incompetence? Bad “journalism” training?
Because they think they are standing up for a higher principle than just the silly laws they are sworn to uphold. Their fealty is to globalism, one-worldism, “citizens of the world”, imagine no more countries, especially the hopelessly racist USA, etc. These judges - and democrats generally - are not really Americans anymore, not in the sense we mean.
FAFO
Wake me up when they start arresting federal-level judges and bureaucrats that enable all this.
Lead story on POSO right now this POS judge. HOORAY Jack!
My Momma says, “Democrats is as Democrats does.”
Big fat hannah is in big trouble !
It’s a start.
They ought to put out an APB for her missing teeth!
She does Gabby Hayes impressions at the local comedy clubs...........
these judges are clearly protecting their terrorist team leaders... people of actual rank in commanding the shock troops.
The ABBA hit song of the seventies “fernando” must be playing in their head.
Get some of the new (Biden’s) 87,000 FBI agents out into the field and arrest ALL the sanctuary mayors and governors. Anything less is unacceptable.
Judges hate to find out that a citizen believes in jury nullification, but we now see that Judges are quite willing to nullify Federal Law on their own whims.
