Hannah Dugan Arrested After Allegedly Helping Immigrant Evade ICE at Wisconsin Courthouse

Hold up—did a real-life judge just pull a courthouse stunt straight outta Orange Is the New Black? Oh yes she did. Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County Circuit Judge, just got arrested—yep, arrested—by the freakin’ FBI at the courthouse where she works. This isn’t your average legal drama… this is the real deal.

Here’s the scoop: the feds say Dugan helped an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, escape ICE agents by telling him and his lawyer to sneak out a side door. That’s not just bending the rules—that’s full-blown Matrix-style evasion.

Ruiz was in her courtroom on April 18. He had an immigration detainer on him, meaning ICE was ready to scoop him up. But instead, Judge Dugan allegedly played legal GPS and rerouted him right around the agents. Bold move. Didn’t last long though—Ruiz got caught anyway after a foot chase. (Imagine the soundtrack to Bourne Identity playing here.)

FBI Director Kash Patel wasn’t playing around either—he hit her with obstruction of justice charges. Yeah, you read that right. A judge is now the one facing the law. Talk about flipping the script.

The arrest has got people talking louder than a Real Housewives reunion. Some say she was protecting courtroom dignity and immigrant rights. Others say… girl, you broke the law. Either way, Twitter (X) is on fire, and courtroom drama just got a serious upgrade.

For now, the DOJ and FBI are staying tight-lipped, and Dugan’s legal fate is still up in the air. But one thing’s for sure—Wisconsin’s bench just got way more dramatic than any courtroom show you’ve ever binge-watched.
