Federal agents on Friday arrested a US judge for allegedly shielding an undocumented migrant, the FBI's director said, escalating a growing struggle between the White House and courts over President Donald Trump's hardline deportation policies.
Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, allegedly "intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject" whom they were intending to detain at her courthouse, director Kash Patel said in a post on X.
"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 said in his post.
The migrant was arrested shortly afterwards.
