On Friday, the FBI agents arrested Milwoki’s judge accused of justice by directing an uncomfortable immigrant from the court hall through a side door, while federal immigration agents are waiting for the detention entrance to him.
The arrest of the judge, Hana Dogan, was quickly based on a condemnation of Democratic leaders and prompted the protests in the city of Wisconsin.
But the American public prosecutor, Bam Bondi, defended the move, saying that the arrest of Judge Dogan sent a “strong message” to the judges that the Trump administration would raise them if he obstructs justice by “accompanying the criminal defendant from a backward door.”
After the arrest, the FBI director, Cash Patel, published a picture of her on the handcuffs on X, adding, “No one is above the law.”
The arrest raised several questions – many of which are still unanswered. This is what we know yet.
What happened on the day of the arrest of Judge Dogan?
On April 18, six federal officers arrived at the Milwoki Provincial Court for the arrest of Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a Mexican citizen who had a hearing on charges of the battery.
Before the session, one of the lawyer, Judge Dogan, told that agents of immigration and customs were outside the courtroom, according to the criminal complaint against her. She described the situation “ridiculous” and left the seat.
Judge Dogan then spoke with the federal agents, and told them that they need a judicial order and to speak with the chief judges of Milwoki Province.
One of the officers spoke to the chief judge, Karl Ashley, who told the officer that there is a business policy about the place where ice agents could be arrested in court. But he stressed that such procedures should not occur in the court halls or other private sites, ”the complaint said.
Mr. Flores Ruiz and his lawyer also left the court hall, Judge Dogan told them, “Wait, come with me,” according to the deputy courtroom, who heard the interaction. The court records showed that the deputy saw her shining them through a door that leads to a “non -general” area in the court.
After that, the agents saw Mr. Flores Ruiz and his lawyer in a general corridor, and one agent entered with them and saw them leaving the building, but they did not receive the arrest immediately. Then other clients arrested him on the street after chasing the foot.
A week later, FBI agents arrested Judge Dogan in court. She was accused of obstructing immigration officers and hiding someone to prevent arrest.
Craig Mastantono, a lawyer like Judge Dogan, described her short appearance in the court as a plaintiff on Friday, her arrest as “very unusual”, noting that federal law enforcement officers could have contacted her first to interrogate her or asked her to deliver her.
Who is Judge Dogan?
Judge Dogan, 65, has spent most of her career in providing legal services to the poor, specializing in housing and public advantages.
In 1995, she represented the people who took on the city center sidewalks, on the pretext that preventing them from doing this was unconstitutional. She was elected in 2016 and ran without opposition to his re -election in 2022. The current duration of her current period ended in 2028.
Ann Jacobs, a Milwaukee lawyer who represented before the judge in court, described Judge Dogan as “a kind of judge from the book.”
After appearing before the court on Friday, Judge Dogan was released based on her own recognition. Its legal team pledged to charge. An initial session is scheduled to be held on May 15.
Who is Mr. Flores Ruiz, and what happened in his case?
Mr. Flores Ruiz, a Mexican citizen in his early thirties, was in court on April 18 to attend a hearing on the three misdemeanor battery that stems from a ring in March, according to a criminal complaint against him.
The records indicate that Mr. Flores Ruiz entered a battle with his colleague in the room, who asked him to reject the music he was playing. The roommate said that Mr. Flores Ruiz struck him about 30 times and hit her friend’s friend and cousin.
But federal officials were looking to arrest Mr. Flores Ruiz for another reason: he also faces federal re -entry charge.
Mr. Florez Ruiz was deported from the United States in January 2013 by order of rapid removal, which is generally issued to those who cross the border without appropriate documents and are being held quickly. Martin Brooge, his lawyer for federal charges, said in an interview that Mr. Flores Ruiz returned to the country shortly after he was deported and lived in Milwoki and works as a cook for approximately 12 years.
Mr. Brooz said he has no criminal record before the misdemeanor was charged.
Six Federal officials of four agencies – FBI, Ice and Customs, Border Protection and Narcotics Administration – participated in his arrest last week. The complaint against Judge Dogan said that the agents were wearing clothes in the streets and planning to arrest Mr. Flores Ruiz in a “low” and safe way. He also explained that it is common for law enforcement officials to arrest people in court because they know that the person they are looking for will be unarmed.
The number of agents who were present raised questions, as some people wonder whether there is a lot of migrants. But others said that the number may not be very unusual, especially if the agents are planning to perform multiple arrests on that day.
Mr. Flores Ruiz is currently being held in Ozuki County Prison in Port Washington, Weiss.
What are some of the possible effects of arrests?
The arrest of Judge Dogan and Mr. Florez Ruiz have experts wondering how other immigration cases and the court system as a whole can be affected.
Since federal agents sought to arrest Mr. Flores Ruiz in a court, Mrs. Jacobs, Milwoki’s lawyer, is concerned that people who have no documents are afraid to participate in future issues where their certificates will be useful.
Ms. Jacobs, who is also the head of the Wisconsin election committee, said that the arrest of Judge Dogan was “so deep and unknown” that it was difficult to predict how this might affect the behavior of the judges. She added that he appears to be designed to make judges fear taking any position outside the Trump administration.
Some people are concerned about what this issue can mean for American democracy and its future. Anne Rohrir, a healthcare worker from Wauwatosa, said.
Mrs. Rohrar, 62, was one of the hundreds of people protesting the arrest of Judge Dogan on Saturday outside the FBI building in St. Francis, Weiss.
She said, “All the things that make America great attack.”
