Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, who is facing charges for allegedly shielding a previously deported illegal immigrant from ICE, has retained former Bush solicitor general Paul Clement to represent her.

Milwaukee County Chief Judge Carl Ashley said, "We're all concerned" about Judge Dugan's arrest and questioned "whether that process was necessary."

FBI Director Kash Patel said Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan "intentionally misdirected federal agents away" from an immigrant who is in the U.S. illegally and was set to be arrested. Patel said that the man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, was later arrested and is currently being detained.
