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.

I just thought of a magazine cartoon of some kind of wild animal, probably a wildebeast, where the little one was asking the big one: “Mother, am I pretty?”
It’s sad to think of parents who had to raise this judge knowing she wouldn’t have good looks and would have to get by mostly alone. But that doesn’t excuse her for being evil.
Mother Theresa, Jimmy Durante and others didn’t turn out evil.
And one of our most beloved film stars, Charles Bronson had a fantastic career starting out known as “Il Brutto” or “The Ugly One” by his Italian fans. In France, he was also referred to as “Le Sacre Monstre” or “Holy Monster”. However, in Spain, he was considered a sex symbol.
In the US, Bronson’s face was described as a “steel chisel on a wall of anthracite.” ——internet sites.
You’re so nice not to be offended. The face....
I find that Americans completely lack sensibility and good taste. They are boring, and they all have faces like unbaked rolls.

The judges act to nullify federal law?
Lock them up Kash !
Boasberg would look good behind bars.
I left my teef back at the motel.
“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” are crimes against the government itself. Crimes against the Rule of Law.
Crimes against the US border.
Impeach the criminal judge.
Later, sometime after the perp walk in cuffs, there is a half second video of her leaving a building and into a vehicle.
She is out on bail.
What fun....... a judge out on bail
“Word salad Annie, Patel’s got your fanny.”
X is overwhelmed with propaganda right now from our representatives. Seems they all got fed the same memo but were told to change the wording a bit so it doesn’t appear too coordinated. I know they have to be anti-Trump at every little step but they really look exceptionally foolish lately.
Maybe her next check from György Schwartz, the Jewish Nazi, is the reason.
Schadenfreude.
Maybe she can pawn her vintage timex watch for a new set of dentures.
And don’t forget the prosecutors who are now being exposed like Letitia James. The deep state is not some hidden underground organization, the deep state are domestic enemies of the United States in positions of power in our government and they need to be excised like the diseased cancer they are.
My feelings:
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Trump knocked them out of her face with the crutch he stole from Tiny Tim.
True.
Like the illegals, let’s start with the worst first:
“...Biden also appointed the largest number of out LGBTQ+ judges, the most Black women and the most women of color of any president and the highest number of civil rights attorneys and public defenders.
Of his 235 judicial confirmations, more than 60 percent are women. The largest share — 37 percent — are women of color.”
Is that an oblique reference to the lipstick comments years ago by the other side?
Said to be “ancient” the phrase was made famous by a Kenyan celebrity:
Sep 10, 2008 — Barack Obama told a crowd at a campaign event on Tuesday, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Many in the Obama crowd leaped to their feet in delight – apparently taking the “pig” comment as a direct slam at Palin.
Was campaign against Palin as VP candidate.
Lol. So true.
Whoa. Guilty.
