Dugan was on the bench when the ICE agents appeared in the hallway, and a courtroom deputy told the FBI that Dugan became visibly angry and called the situation "absurd" when a clerk spoke with her about ICE's presence. Dugan and another unnamed judge then confronted deportation officers in the hallway, the affidavit alleges, and Dugan asked if they had a judicial warrant. "No, I have an administrative warrant," one of the agents replied, according to the affidavit. Dugan then "demanded" that the agent speak with the chief judge while members of the arrest team were in the chief judge's chambers, the complaint states.
