Wisconsin judge to be arraigned for allegedly obstructing immigration authorities

A Wisconsin county judge is set to be arraigned Thursday morning on federal obstruction charges after allegedly helping a man evade immigration authorities during a federal law enforcement operation at her courthouse.

In April, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI after director Kash Patel said she "intentionally misdirected federal agents away" from an illegal immigrant who had a criminal court hearing in front of the judge and was set to be arrested after his hearing ended.

Dugan was charged with one count of concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction, and on Tuesday a federal grand jury indicted her on those charges.
