💨 Abstract

A Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, is accused of helping a man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, evade U.S. immigration authorities. Prosecutors say she escorted Flores-Ruiz out of her courtroom through a back door after learning ICE agents were seeking his arrest. Dugan faces charges of concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction, with up to six years in prison if convicted. Her attorneys argue she acted in her judicial capacity and that federal authorities violated state sovereignty.
