FBI Arrests Wisconsin Judge in Immigration Obstruction Case

A state judge in Wisconsin was charged Friday by the FBI with obstructing federal officials who tried to detain an undocumented immigrant, escalating the Trump administration’s conflict with the judiciary over its hardline immigration strategy.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was accused of obstructing a proceeding, and concealing an individual to prevent his arrest. US authorities said the case stemmed from an April 18 incident when agents showed up at her courtroom to detain an undocumented migrant from Mexico, who was appearing in his domestic battery case.
