FBI Arrests Wisconsin Judge HANNAH DUGAN for Allegedly Shielding Illegal Immigrant from ICE

The FBI has arrested HANNAH DUGAN, a Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge, for allegedly obstructing an official proceeding by hiding an illegal immigrant in her jury room to prevent their arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to Fox News sources. The arrest occurred on Friday morning following evidence that DUGAN shielded the migrant from federal agents.

Federal law enforcement sources revealed that on April 18, agents from ICE, FBI, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) attempted to arrest an undocumented male after his scheduled criminal court appearance. Sources claim that DUGAN redirected the officers to the chief judge’s office, allowing the individual to leave the building undetected. Authorities believe her actions were deliberate to help the immigrant evade arrest.

DUGAN is expected to make her initial appearance in federal court in Milwaukee on Friday. She has disputed the accuracy of the reports, according to local media. Fox News Digital reached out to her office for comment but has not yet received a response.

The incident follows recent arrests by ICE officials in the courthouse hallways, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Chief Judge CARL ASHLEY reportedly sent an email to court judges about ICE’s presence but did not address the allegations against DUGAN.

State Representative BOB DONOVAN, a Republican, condemned the alleged actions, calling them “irresponsible” and bordering on obstruction of justice. “In all my years of Milwaukee politics and public safety issues, working with cops, district attorneys, and judges, I have never seen a more irresponsible act by an officer of the court, let alone a judge, if true,” DONOVAN stated. He urged the FBI to pursue a thorough investigation and potential prosecution.

HANNAH DUGAN, elected to Branch 31 of the Circuit Court in 2016 and re-elected unopposed in 2022, primarily oversees misdemeanor cases. She has previously worked with legal aid organizations and served as the executive director of Catholic Charities.
