Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan has been charged with obstructing a federal investigation and concealing an individual—Kilmar Abrego Garcia—to prevent his arrest, according to federal authorities.
The case has ignited fierce political debate, with Democrats accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing the justice system. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the situation a “constitutional crisis,” urging fellow Democrats to resist the case vigorously. Dugan’s connection to Garcia—whose presence has already sparked partisan tensions—has further fueled the controversy. Democrats claim the charges are politically driven, while FBI Director Kash Patel countered the criticism by posting an arrest photo of Dugan with the caption, “No one is above the law,” underscoring the agency’s firm stance amid escalating rhetoric.
