On Friday, the FBI arrested a Wisconsin county judge accused of obstructing immigration enforcement efforts, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

In a post on X, Patel announced that Judge Hannah Dugan allegedly misled federal agents to help Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing Ruiz to evade arrest in her courthouse.

This arrest is part of the Trump administration's intensified efforts to crack down on officials who impede federal immigration enforcement, as the Justice Department had forewarned it would target such interference.
