Newly released court documents shed critical light on the Wisconsin judge's arrest that sparked national controversy. In the Judge Hannah Dugan case, Flores-Ruiz and his attorney were openly walking through a public hallway when federal agents had the chance to detain him, but failed to act. Importantly, ICE operated under an administrative warrant, meaning Judge Dugan had no legal obligation to intervene. Her decision to allow Flores-Ruiz to exit through a different door was standard courthouse procedure, ensuring security and constitutional rights, not obstruction. The political motives behind the prosecution are becoming clearer, and a dismissal now appears likely. Listen as we unpack the latest on the Wisconsin judge accused of aiding immigrants and why this case may soon collapse.
