Wisconsin judge refuses to hold court after fellow judge is arrested

Judge Hannah Dugan, a judge in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, got arrested after being charged with felonies for helping an immigrant without documents escape federal officials.

In a social media post, the director of the FBI, Kash Patel, accused Judge Dugan of “intentionally misdirecting” agents from the immigrant who was in the country illegally. Later, he deleted the post.

Judge Dugan’s arrest was confirmed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The immigrant in question, Mexican Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, was in Dugan’s courtroom on April 18.

Aware that agents with ICE, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Customs and Border Protection, and the FBI were in front of her courtroom at the time Flores-Ruiz had a hearing, Judge Dugan allegedly escorted him out of the courtroom via a jury door. Before doing so, she demanded that agents speak with the Milwaukee County Circuit Court’s chief judge.

As reported, Flores-Ruiz is facing three misdemeanor battery counts which come from a fight with his roommates. He, however, doesn’t have other criminal charges.

Following Judge Dugan’s arrest, Judge Monica Isham of the Sawyer County Circuit Court demanded that the state’s top judicial officials provide clear guidance; otherwise, she will cease all court operations in her jurisdiction.

In the email she sent, titled “Guidance Requested or I Refuse to Hold Court,” Judge Isham wrote, “If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County.

“I will not put myself or my staff who may feel compelled to help me or my community in harm’s way.”

She added: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp, especially without due process, as BOTH of the constitutions we swore to support require. Should I start raising bail money?”

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, dubbed Judge Isham’s mail as “problematic.”
