The Wisconsin state Supreme Court on Tuesday suspended a Milwaukee judge who has been accused of allegedly helping an illegal migrant evade an immigration arrest. 

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI late last week on obstruction charges, after she allegedly helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz evade arrest by "intentionally [misdirecting] federal agents away from the subject."

FBI Director Kash Patel said at the time that Flores Ruiz was also arrested.

The state Supreme Court said that the suspension was in the best interest of the public, because Dugan has been charged with two federal crimes, according to the Associated Press.

Dugan has been charged with concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, and obstructing or impeding a proceeding.
