Attorney General Pam Bondi delivered a stark warning to judges across the country this week during a powerful Fox News interview, declaring: “We will find you.”
Her message was clear: judges who subvert federal law, aid undocumented immigrants, or harbor fugitives will face serious consequences.
“We don’t care who you are,” Bondi emphasized. “If you are harboring a fugitive, helping hide one, or arming gang members who are illegally in this country, we will come after you, and we will prosecute you.”
Bondi’s chilling vow comes just hours after the FBI arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an undocumented Mexican national, evade arrest inside her own courtroom.
According to authorities, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents entered Dugan’s courthouse on April 18 with a lawful warrant in hand. Flores-Ruiz was facing misdemeanor charges stemming from a March 12 domestic violence incident—and his victim was ready to testify against him.
Instead of allowing the judicial process to unfold, Judge Dugan allegedly helped Flores-Ruiz slip away through a back exit, triggering a dramatic foot chase with ICE agents before his eventual capture.
Kash Patel, FBI Director, didn’t mince words either, stating:
“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing an illegal alien to evade arrest.”
Meanwhile, Dugan’s attorney, Craig Mastantuono, protested the arrest, claiming it was “not made in the interest of public safety.”
But Bondi, Patel, and many others across the legal community argue otherwise: this was about upholding the rule of law, something they insist activist judges have been actively undermining for far too long.
