A Wisconsin judge was charged with obstructing federal authorities trying to detain undocumented immigrants for deportation, a state Superior Court order shows.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court order violated the position of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, while also ruling federal charges.

The court said it acted on its own, not to respond to any person’s request, and he said the order was intended to protect public confidence in Wisconsin courts.

Criminal lawsuits show Dugan is charged with obstructing or obstructing litigation by U.S. departments or agencies, felony, and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, which is a misdemeanor.

She could face up to six years in prison.

A senior law enforcement official told NBC News that the FBI arrested Dugan, who was first elected to the Circuit Court in 2016, in a parking lot in Milwaukee County Court last week.

Her attorney declined to comment to NBC News on Tuesday, but her legal team told the Associated Press that it disappointed him.

A statement previously made on her behalf said she would “defend herself vigorously and look forward to being exempted.”

Affidavit in the case said U.S. immigration and customs law enforcement agents plan to detain a man who will appear in a domestic violence case. Eduardo Flores-Ruiz had been deported by the U.S. and an immigration official found that there might be reason to believe he could be evacuated from the country, the affidavit said.

Dugan and another judge who asked not to be named allegedly face to face with agents in the corridor, asking them if they had a judicial arrest warrant and telling them to speak with the chief judge, the affidavit said. The affidavit says that after Dugan accompanied Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer through the door of the jury, agents chased them on foot and detained Flores-Ruiz.

The Trump administration accused Dugan of “deliberately misleading federal agents” in a bill called “shocking and shameful” by a Department of Homeland Security spokesman.

Her arrest prompted protests outside the local FBI office, and over the weekend, a state legislator told protesters that the judiciary “as a check for uncontrolled executive power. And the operating democracies will not lock in judges.”
