US EditionWisconsin judge pleads not guilty to helping a man evade federal immigration agents
- A judge from Milwaukee County Circuit Court entered a not guilty plea Thursday during a federal arraignment on allegations that she assisted an undocumented man in avoiding arrest.
- Prosecutors accuse Dugan of escorting Eduardo Flores-Ruiz through a back jury door on April 18 to block immigration agents seeking his arrest for illegal reentry.
- Witnesses reported Dugan and another judge confronted arresting agents in the courthouse before she said, "wait, come with me," and led Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer out.
- Last week, Dugan was suspended by Wisconsin’s highest court to maintain public confidence, while her legal team contends that the federal government's prosecution infringed on the state's sovereignty amid ongoing immigration policy disputes.
- If convicted of obstruction and concealment, Dugan could face up to six years in prison, and her defense will likely seek a jury trial given public controversy.
