US EditionOver 130 Former State and Federal Judges File Brief in Support of Judge Dugan
- A judge from Milwaukee County was taken into custody in April and recently indicted on federal charges accusing her of obstructing justice by hiding an undocumented immigrant within her courthouse.
- The charges stem from an April 18 incident where Dugan allegedly misdirected immigration agents and allowed Eduardo Flores-Ruiz to exit through a back door to evade arrest.
- Supporters released courthouse video showing Dugan escorting Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer to federal officers before the back door exit, and her lawyers filed a motion testing judicial immunity defenses.
- A bipartisan group of 138 former judges filed a brief Friday arguing Dugan’s official acts fall under absolute judicial immunity, warning prosecution threatens judicial independence and public trust.
- Dugan pleaded not guilty, faces trial beginning July 21, and the case will examine immunity limits established in the 2024 Trump v. United States decision.
