WATCH as indicted judge Hannah Dugan sends 2 federal agents packing
A newly released video shows now-indicted judge Hannah Dugan, of Wisconsin, sending two federal agents waiting to take an illegal alien into custody packing.
She told them they had to see the chief judge for another warrant, and the video shows, moments later, the wanted suspect leaving the courthouse with his lawyer.
Dugan allegedly sneaked the suspect out of her courtroom to avoid the officers.
A report at the Gateway Pundit described how the video shows Dugan “angrily confronting ICE agents in the courthouse.”
Dugan later was arrested by the FBI for obstructing federal law enforcement.
She has claimed that everything she did was part of her judicial duty, so she is totally immune to any prosecution.
The report noted, “According to the FBI, Judge Hannah Dugan obstructed an immigration arrest operation last month. Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.”
Dugan by now has been indicted by a federal grand jury, relieved of her duties and is facing trial.
FBI Director Kash Patel accused Dugan of intentionally misdirecting agents away from the subject.
Evidence shows Dugan ended the hearing for Flores-Ruiz “so she could discreetly escort him through a ‘jury door’ to avoid his arrest.”
WND previously has reported Dugan could face sentencing of up to six years in jail and $350,000 in fines if convicted.
Her lawyers claimed that she is “entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts.”
They said that means the prosecution against her for her actions to help a suspected criminal evade arrest is “barred.”
In an interview on “American Reports,” Attorney General Pam Bondi explained how the Trump administration will handle judges who obstruct and block federal efforts to secure the border and remove illegal aliens.
“We are going to prosecute you, and we are prosecuting you. I found out about this the day it happened,” she said.
“We could not believe, actually, that a judge really did that. We looked into the facts in great depth… You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she’s protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime.”
