The FBI arrested a Wisconsin county judge accused of helping a man who is also involved in her court case evade being detected by immigration officials.
Milwaukee County circuit judge Hannah Dugan is charged with obstructing a proceeding and helping someone to avoid arrest when she allowed Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a man in her courtroom on state charges, who was previously deported.
Hours after former New Mexico Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were arrested for allegedly housing a Venezuelan national with reported gang ties, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Dugan's arrest occurred.
“Nobody is above the law, not even a judge,” Bondi told ABC News Live's Kyra Phillips. She even posted the same on her X handle.
