FBI arrests a Milwaukee judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities
Written by Site Hub on April 26, 2025
A Milwaukee County judge, Hannah Dugan, was arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping a man evade immigration arrest by leading him and his attorney through a private courtroom door. The incident reignited tensions between the Trump administration and local officials over immigration enforcement. Charged with concealing a person and obstructing a proceeding, Dugan’s actions and subsequent arrest have drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers condemned the arrest as an attack on judicial independence, while Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Dugan of endangering law enforcement. The case mirrors a prior failed prosecution of a Massachusetts judge during Trump’s first term and underscores the administration’s renewed crackdown on local interference with federal immigration efforts.
