Undocumented Man Deported After Judge’s Alleged Evasion Scheme
UPDATE: An undocumented man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, has been deported following an alleged scheme involving Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed his removal just yesterday, marking a significant turn in a case that has drawn national attention.
Authorities report that Judge Dugan is facing serious charges, including obstruction of federal removal proceedings. She allegedly assisted Flores-Ruiz in evading arrest on April 18, when federal agents were present at her courtroom to apprehend him for immigration violations. Prosecutors claim Dugan directed the agents away from Flores-Ruiz and facilitated his escape through a non-public exit.
DHS revealed that Flores-Ruiz, a native of Mexico, previously entered the U.S. illegally twice and has a troubling criminal history, including charges of strangulation, suffocation, and domestic abuse. After being arrested, he pleaded guilty to unlawful reentry and was sentenced to time served earlier this month.
“Judge Hannah Dugan’s actions to obstruct this violent criminal’s arrest take ‘activist judge’ to a whole new meaning,” stated DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. She emphasized the importance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who ultimately facilitated Flores-Ruiz’s deportation.
Dugan, who has maintained her innocence, has a trial set for December 15. Following her arrest, the Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended her from official duties, citing public interest concerns. The situation has sparked a heated debate over judicial accountability and immigration enforcement.
As this case unfolds, the implications for the judicial system and immigration policy remain significant. Observers are urged to stay tuned for further developments as the trial approaches, and the legal ramifications for Judge Dugan become clearer.
This developing story continues to capture public attention, prompting discussions on the intersection of law, immigration, and judicial responsibility. Share this urgent update to keep others informed about these critical issues.
