MILWAUKEE (AP) – The FBI arrested a Milwaukee judge on Friday accused of helping a man to escape the immigration authorities, degenerating a confrontation between the Trump administration and the judiciary on the repression of the immigration of the Republican president.
The director of the FBI, Kash Patel, announced on social networks the arrest of judge Hannah Dugan, who declared that “intentionally poorly directed” of the federal agents far from a man they were trying to take in police custody at his courthouse.
“Fortunately, our agents have hunted the PERP on foot and has been in detention since, but the judge’s obstruction has created an increased danger for the public,” wrote Patel.
The arrest comes in the middle of a growing quarrel between the Trump administration and the judiciary on the policies of application of the White House immigration. The Ministry of Justice had previously pointed out that he was going to repress local officials who thwarted federal immigration efforts.
The court documents detailing the case against the judge were not immediately available, and the Ministry of Justice did not immediately comment on Friday.
A person answering the phone on Friday at the Dugan office said that he could not comment. The Associated Press left an email and vocal messaging on Friday morning to request comments from the court judge of the county of Milwaukee, Carl Ashley.
In January, the Ministry of Justice ordered prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges against states and premises who hinder or hamper federal functions. As a potential tracks for prosecution, a note has cited a plot offense as well as a law illegally prohibiting the wearing of people in the country.
