US EditionJudge Dugan's Legal Team Again Asks for Charges to Be Dismissed
- Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal charges for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade ICE agents last month in Milwaukee.
- The charges stem from Dugan’s actions involving a defendant in her courtroom who was expected to be arrested by ICE officers in a public hallway after a court proceeding.
- Video footage shows Dugan speaking with ICE officers near the courtroom while the defendant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, walked through a back hallway with his attorney before being arrested outside the courthouse.
- Dugan is charged with obstruction and concealment offenses that carry a combined maximum sentence of six years behind bars and fines totaling $350,000, while her legal team contends she should be protected by judicial immunity, referencing the precedent set in Trump v. United States.
- Dugan’s legal team filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the charges, asserting they violate separation of powers and the Tenth Amendment, and her trial is scheduled for July 21.
