The case of Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an illegal immigrant, has drawn controversy as allegations arise against Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan for helping him avoid arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
• Eduardo Flores Ruiz, 30, was arrested in Milwaukee and is currently held at the Ozaukee County Jail awaiting court proceedings. He faces three domestic violence charges stemming from a March altercation.
• Judge Hannah Dugan is accused of assisting Flores Ruiz during his court appearance on April 18, allegedly allowing him and his lawyer to escape through a restricted door, avoiding ICE officers waiting to detain him.
• Despite the judge's actions, ICE officers chased and successfully arrested Flores Ruiz outside the courthouse.
• Flores Ruiz was previously deported to Mexico in 2013 before the current domestic violence allegations came to light.
• The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended Judge Dugan while she contests charges of obstructing ICE and concealing Flores Ruiz; her next court hearing is scheduled for May 15.
• The police report details how Flores Ruiz injured three people during a dispute over loud music. Two victims required hospital treatment for their injuries.
• Despite her suspension, Judge Dugan is still listed as the judge on Flores Ruiz's case. Attempts to contact Flores Ruiz’s lawyer and the local prosecutor for comments were unsuccessful.
The unfolding situation involving Judge Dugan and Eduardo Flores Ruiz highlights significant legal and ethical questions surrounding immigration enforcement and judicial conduct in Wisconsin.
