Evidence suggests Judge Hannah Dugan obstructed an immigration arrest operation last week, FBI Director Kash Patel said in a since-deleted social media post.

Patel's post accused Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan of helping a man evade arrest by federal immigration authorities.

The Wisconsin judge who was arrested by the FBI on Friday and accused of interfering in the arrest of an undocumented immigrant has a decadeslong history of advocating for the poor and vulnerable.
