Overview

• Federal Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested at the Milwaukee federal courthouse for allegedly obstructing the detention of an undocumented Mexican migrant last week.
• FBI Director Kash Patel claimed Dugan intentionally distracted agents, delaying the arrest and increasing public safety risks, though his initial statement was deleted and later reposted.
• The US Marshals Service confirmed Dugan's arrest on Friday morning; she was released from pretrial detention and is scheduled for a May 15 hearing.
• The arrest follows a January DOJ directive urging federal prosecutors to act against local officials who impede immigration enforcement efforts.
• The Trump administration continues its hardline immigration agenda, intensifying conflicts with judicial actors over enforcement and deportation policies.
