Two Federal Judges Arrested by FBI
Saturday, April 26, 2025
According to CNBC, federal authorities have arrested a Wisconsin judge and a former New Mexico judge in two separate cases, accusing them of interfering with Trump administration immigration enforcement efforts.
Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested yesterday, on Friday morning and charged with obstruction. She is accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers after he appeared in her courtroom April 18.
The actions against judges mark a sharp escalation in the Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to remove undocumented immigrants from the U.S.
"Nobody should be surprised by the arrest of two judges. I have said many times over the past few months that people can choose to support illegal immigration and not assist ICE in removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities, but don’t cross that line. If you actively impede our enforcement efforts, or if you knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted. These actions are felonies. More to come."
