Federal Court Upholds Conviction of Milwaukee Judge for Aiding Migrant
A federal court in Milwaukee has upheld the conviction of former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who was found guilty of felony obstruction for assisting a migrant in evading federal officers. The decision was made by US District Court Judge Lynn Adelman, who rejected Dugan's arguments for overturning the conviction. Dugan's legal team had argued that her actions were part of her judicial duties and that she was immune from prosecution. However, the court found no basis for granting immunity, as her actions were not considered part of her official duties. The case involved Dugan confronting officers who intended to arrest a migrant in her courtroom and allegedly helping the individual avoid capture. Although the jury acquitted her of unlawfully concealing a migrant, they convicted her on the obstruction charge.
