The director of the Bureau announced the measure taken against a Milwaukee magistrate that would have hindered the application of immigration laws.
The clash between the powers in America makes a qualitative leap. Leri, in the United States, the Agents of the FBI arrested Hannah Dugana judge of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, on charges of having hindered the research of a clandestine immigrant. On the other hand, the Trump administration had promised to investigate and pursue similar events.
«We believe that the judge Dugan intentionally vanished federal agents from the subject to be arrested in his court, Eduardo Flores Ruizthus allowing the latter – an illegal immigrant – to avoid arrest “wrote the director of the FBI, Kash Patel on X, in a post subsequently removed.
“Fortunately, our agents have chased the escape on foot and have taken it in custody since then, but the obstruction of the judge has created a greater danger for the public.” It all started last Friday, during a hearing at the Milwaukee court. Here Dugan would have helped RuizMexican immigrant without documents and accused for three minor crimes of aggression, to avoid arrest by the agents of the Ice, the federal agency responsible for immigration.
The reconstructions diverge: some claim that Dugan He would have indicated “only” a side door, a corridor accessible to the court employees to allow escape. Others, however, say that the judge would even hide Ruiz In the jury room, a room not accessible to the defendants. In any case, the obstruction was in vain and, indeed, came to light immediately, when the chief judge Carl Ashley He allowed the agents to enter the classroom, after submitting a stop term. On this point, however, the reconstructions tell of a contradictory between the two judges. Ashley would defend the work of the federal agents, which occurred in compliance with the protocols, while Dugan It would highlight how the arrest warrant has not been “presented in the corridor of the sixth floor”, where its classroom is located. The epilogue of the story, however, saw the capture of the immigrant after chasing on foot and without any possible accident.
After the arrest of yesterday morning, Dugan It risks a prison sentence of up to five years, or eight if it comes to terrorism, pursuant to article 1001 of title 18 of the United States code.
The episode is part of a higher context of political tensions. On X, in fact, old videos of Dugan in which he declared that he had used the law to “promote social change in favor of those who are more vulnerable”, also in collaboration with non -profit organizations.
The day before yesterday another former magistrate of New Mexico, Jose Joel Canohe was arrested with his wife for welcoming an illegal immigrant in his home, alleged member of the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua.
The note has also increased the note published in recent days by the Wisconsin administration which provides indications to state employees on how to behave in front of federal agents, for example by refusing to answer questions or to provide access to systems without the presence of a legal consultant.
Practically, a survey made by Rmg Research last January is being made last January, when almost half of the federal employees promised opposition to the new Trump administration.
