A Scandal on the Bench: Judge Dugan’s Outrageous Betrayal of Federal Authority

By an Angry Republican Voice

The latest bombshell out of Milwaukee has left many conservatives seething. A newly released video exposes Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan’s outrageous interference with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, revealing her blatant disregard for federal law and the safety of officers. This isn’t just a minor misstep in the judicial system—it’s a disgraceful example of leftist judicial activism run amok.

According to the footage obtained by WISN through an open records request, Dugan—still clad in her judicial robes—can be seen openly confronting plainclothes ICE agents inside the courthouse. The drama escalates when she allegedly assists an illegal immigrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, in evading arrest. This manipulative act smacks of an overt effort to shield a criminal alien with a notorious domestic abuse record from deportation. No wonder federal authorities are up in arms.

The video captures a moment of uncontrolled anger as Dugan confronts ICE agents. Shortly thereafter, Flores-Ruiz and his attorney are spotted sneaking out through a “jury door” to escape arrest. Federal agents were forced into a dangerous chase, risking their lives in the process—all because of Dugan’s deliberate obstruction. FBI Director Kash Patel condemned her actions, stating she “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse.”

This incident is not merely a case of judicial overreach; it is an outright assault on federal sovereignty. In a time when President Trump’s America First policies were designed to protect our nation and uphold the rule of law, it is disheartening to see a judge so brazenly flouting those principles.

The reaction from her legal team has been predictable; they attempted to deflect culpability by invoking “judicial immunity” and the 10th Amendment—a laughable defense given the clear abuse of power on display. Their motion argues that the prosecution is “virtually unprecedented and entirely unconstitutional,” but make no mistake: no judge is above the law. The American people deserve judges who uphold our nation’s legal standards, not those who prioritize a radical open-borders agenda over public safety.

When such blatant hypocrisy dominates the headlines, one must ask: Where are the real champions of justice? The leftist media has wasted no time downplaying Dugan’s lawlessness and attempting to paint her actions as a heroic stand against Trump’s immigration enforcement. If a conservative judge dared to exhibit this kind of blatant bias in favor of a Trump ally, networks like CNN and MSNBC would be clamoring for her impeachment without hesitation.

President Trump has long warned the American people about activist judges undermining our nation’s security and sovereignty, and this case reinforces those warnings. It is high time that we, as proud defenders of American values, call out the dangerous intersections of political ideology and judicial overreach.
