https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-arrests-milwaukee-judge-alleging-interfered-immigration-operation-rcna203006I sat on a jury about a year ago for a domestic battery case.

A judicial warrant is required to enter and arrest someone in a private space, like a home or a closed court hearing.

It appears the defendant's attorney asked to leave out of a side door with the defendant and Judge Dugan let them.

The FBI director announced it (then deleted) on Twitter. Yes Twitter. That is how FBI announced this.
