MILWAUKEE (AP) — The FBI on Friday arrested a Wisconsin county judge accused of helping a man avoid immigration enforcement, Director Kash Patel said.

The FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Friday morning, and she was charged with obstruction and harboring a fugitive in connection with an immigrant worker, who appeared before her on April 18.
