Now, we reported exclusively last week that Dugan actually lied in an email to all of her judicial colleagues, saying that the ICE agents who showed up outside her courtroom never presented a warrant. They did, and multiple witnesses confirmed that they did. They informed her that they were there to apprehend Ruiz and that she needed to allow this to happen following the conclusion of his hearing. Ergo, because it was a valid process, because there was a valid warrant, and because by allowing Ruiz to flee out of the jury room, Dugan very likely violated this statute as well. (18:34–18:45)
