“Just NOW, 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,“ FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Friday morning post on X that had been taken down before being reposted.

A judge in Milwaukee is accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities. The case immediately became a high-profile confrontation between the Trump administration and judiciary over the Republican administration’s immigration policies.

FBI Director Kash Patel said in a since-deleted post on X that the bureau believed the judge "intentionally misdirected federal agents" seeking to arrest an undocumented immigrant.
