FBI arrests Wisconsin judge for obstruction in immigration case

The FBI said a Wisconsin county judge has been arrested on obstruction charges for allegedly preventing a man from being arrested during a federal law enforcement operation at her courthouse. 

FBI director Kash Patel announced the arrest on X in a post Friday that has been deleted. He said in the post that Milwaukee County Circuit judge Hannah Dugan "intentionally misdirected federal agents away" from an immigrant who is in the U.S. illegally and was set to be arrested at her courthouse. 

Patel said that the man, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, was later arrested and is currently being detained.
