Overview

• Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI in Wisconsin for allegedly obstructing the arrest of undocumented migrant Eduardo Flores Ruiz.
• FBI Director Kash Patel claimed Dugan intentionally diverted agents, allowing Ruiz to temporarily evade capture before being detained following a foot chase.
• Patel's announcement of the arrest on social media platform X was later deleted, raising questions about the FBI's handling of the case.
• The arrest highlights escalating friction between the Trump administration and federal courts, which have overturned several immigration-related executive orders this year.
• Democratic leaders, including Senator Dick Durbin, have expressed concerns over Patel’s leadership, fearing political weaponization of the FBI.
