Milwaukee Judge in Hot Water After Confrontation with Federal Agents

Milwaukee Judge Faces Charges After Confrontation with Federal Agents Milwaukee, WI – A recently released video has sparked controversy, showing a confrontation between Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and federal agents. The incident, which occurred on April 18th, involved the attempted detention of defendant Eduardo Flores Ruiz on domestic abuse charges. The video, obtained through an open records request by Milwaukee County, shows Judge Dugan questioning the agents' warrant and subsequently ordering them to leave the courthouse. "The video clearly shows the judge interfering with the process," stated a source familiar with the investigation, who wished to remain anonymous. The video also shows Flores Ruiz leaving the courthouse and being apprehended by the agents shortly thereafter. The criminal complaint filed against Judge Dugan alleges she obstructed justice. Judge Dugan has pleaded not guilty. The incident raises questions about the boundaries of judicial authority and the appropriate response to federal law enforcement within a courthouse setting. The ongoing investigation and legal proceedings will likely shed more light on the situation and its implications for the judicial system.
