The FBI has arrested a Milwaukee judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities. Friday's arrest escalates a clash between the Trump administration and local authorities over the president’s sweeping immigration crackdown.

Several top Democrats have condemned the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan. On Friday, FBI director Kash Patel announced that Judge Dugan had been arrested on charges of obstruction after evidence emerged that she had assisted an undocumented immigrant in evading arrest in her courthouse.
