US EditionImmigrant sentenced to time served after Wisconsin judge allegedly helped him evade federal agents
- U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper handed down a sentence Wednesday, sentencing Eduardo Flores‑Ruiz to time served and warning he faces harsher penalties if he returns as he awaits deportation.
- Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan allegedly showed Flores‑Ruiz out a staff-only door to help him evade U.S. immigration agents who planned to arrest him at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on April 18, and agents caught him after a foot chase.
- Flores‑Ruiz has been jailed for nearly seven months since his April arrest, and prosecutors dropped two of three battery charges after he pled no contest to the third and received a time‑served sentence.
- A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan in May on obstruction and concealing charges, and she is set to stand trial beginning Dec. 15 amid political clashes with President Donald Trump's administration.
- Flores‑Ruiz grew up near Michoacan, Mexico, working as a fisherman and frog catcher, then crossed from Nogales, Mexico, in 2013 at age 18, got lost in the Arizona desert for a month, and later joined relatives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
