A Wisconsin circuit court judge was indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday following her arrest last month for allegedly protecting an undocumented immigrant from federal authorities.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was taken into custody on April 25 and accused of obstructing an official process after allegations emerged that she concealed an undocumented immigrant from federal agents, as noted in a criminal complaint. Additionally, she faced charges for hiding an individual to prevent their apprehension and arrest.

The federal grand jury indicted Dugan after reviewing testimony about her alleged attempts to assist an undocumented individual in evading capture in her courtroom.

On Tuesday, a federal grand jury convened to consider the indictment, hearing testimony that included statements from Eduardo Flores-Ruiz’s attorney, who has since withdrawn from his case, and Dugan’s court clerk.

Her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told the court last month, “Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi previously blasted Dugan’s actions on Fox’s “America Reports.”

“We could not believe that a judge really did that,” Bondi said. “You cannot obstruct a criminal case. And really, shame on her. It was a domestic violence case of all cases, and she’s protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime.”

Bondi said Flores-Ruiz beat up two people, “a guy and a girl.”

“[He] beat the guy, hit the guy 30 times, knocked him to the ground, choked him, beat up a woman so badly; they both had to go to the hospital,” she said.

Fox News’ Patrick McGovern, Michael Dorgan, Jake Gibson and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.
