Federal agents arrested a judge in Wisconsin and accused her of obstructing allegedly trying to help immigrants who are not documented to escape his arrest.

Announcing her detention, she accused the FBI director, Cash Patel, the judge of the Milwoki Province, Hana Dogan, of “wrong immigration agents” intentionally away from a Mexican man who were trying to arrest last week.

Patel wrote on X.

During a preliminary hearing of the court on Friday, Dogan’s lawyer said that she “regrets all her sincerity to arrest her.

The judge was accused of obstructing and concealing the individual to avoid arrest, and faces a six -year prison in the event of two charges.

Dogan was released on her own confession awaiting a hearing on May 15.

The accusations of the events that played in the courtroom in Dogan stem on last week.

On April 17, a migration judge issued an order on charges of arresting Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a Mexican citizen facing three misdemeanor battery arising from a household battle, according to the court documents submitted in the case by the FBI.

The next day, Flores-Ruiz appeared in the Milwoki court to attend a scheduled hearing, and six officers arrived from the enforcement of American migration and customs (ICE), the FBI and the Anti-Narcotics Agency to the court to establish detention.

The agents identified themselves to court officials and waited outside the Dogan Hall Hall, but according to the certificate of the FBI, the judge became “clearly angry, commented that the situation was” ridiculous “, the seat went, and entered rooms” when I learned of their presence.

At the hallway outside the court, Dogan and the agents who were not then disclosed about the type of arrest order that were issued, before the judge considered them a report to the office of the senior judge in the province.

While there were many agents in the office, as the statement says, the judge entered Flores Ruiz and his lawyer to a side door for jury members who come out of the courtroom.

But there are two budget clients near the courtroom and monitored Flores Ruiz trying to escape, as the statement says.

Flores Ruiz, whom the authorities say had been deported by the United States in 2013, managed to leave the court but was arrested just minutes after chasing the short foot.

Dogan’s arrest came one day after a former judge in New Mexico was accused of securing a member of the alleged Venezuelan gang in his home.

“I think some of these judges believe that they are out of the law and above them and they are not,” Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi told Fox News in an interview on Friday.

“And if you are destroying the evidence, if you hinder justice, when you have victims sitting in the court hall of domestic violence, and you accompany the criminal defendant from the back door, then he will not be tolerated.”

The reaction to the arrest is largely along the partisan lines.

The Senator Wisconsin Tami, Baldwin, who is a democratic, described it as a “dangerous and very slope step.”

“We do not make mistakes, we do not have kings in this country and we are a democracy governed by the laws that everyone must adhere to,” Baldwin said in a statement. “By attacking the judicial system unabated, or the orders of the court, and the arrest of a sitting judge, this president puts these basic democratic values ​​that Weskonen maintains at stake.”

The mayor of Milwoki Cavalier Johnson also criticized the arrest, describing him as a “offer” and warned that he would have a “chilling effect” on the court’s procedures.

“I would like to advise everyone to cooperate with the enforcement of federal law and not be exposed to danger and the public by obstructing their efforts to arrest the illegal criminals and foreigners.”

Dogan was first elected as a judge in 2016, and it was re -elected for six seconds in 2022.

The judicial elections in Wisconsin state are not partisan, but Dogan was adopted by the Democratic Democratic Mayor.

The suspects of obstacles carry a five -year prison sentence and a fine of $ 250,000, while the accusations of hiding can be punished for up to one year and a fine of $ 100,000.

In 2019, during the first Trump administration, a judge was arrested in the state of Massachusetts after it allowed the defendant unreliable immigrant to recover property from imprisonment in the courtroom. Then the immigrant left the courtroom.

Judge Shelli Shelli M. Richmond Joseph was accused of obstruction, but the charges decreased in 2022, although she still faces a continuous ethical complaint resulting from the accident.
