Federal Judge Delays Sentencing in Wisconsin Judge's Immigration Case
A federal judge has postponed the sentencing of former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted of felony obstruction for aiding an immigrant in evading federal officers. The decision to delay comes as U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman considers arguments to potentially overturn Dugan's conviction. Dugan's attorney, Steven Biskupic, argues that her conviction should be overturned based on a recent federal appeals court decision in a Virginia case, which invalidated a similar conviction. The case against Dugan was initiated during President Trump's administration as part of a broader immigration crackdown. Dugan, who resigned from her position following her conviction, faces up to five years in prison, although federal guidelines suggest probation is more likely.
