Court papers filed in the arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan provided more details about why she was arrested, including an affidavit submitted by an FBI special agent that said she allowed an illegal immigrant to escape through a jury door before he was arrested by federal officials.

On Friday, FBI Special Agent Lindsay Schloemer submitted an affidavit saying that agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) attempted to serve an arrest warrant for an illegal immigrant identified as Eduardo Flores-Ruiz following a scheduled criminal court appearance before Dugan earlier this month.

Court papers suggest Dugan was alerted to the presence of ICE agents in the courthouse by her clerk, who was informed by an attorney that they appeared to be in the hallway.
