A federal judge on Monday rejected Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s bid to toss out a jury’s guilty verdict on charges for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
US District Judge Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointee, denied Hannah Dugan’s motions.
In December, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of obstruction for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
Dugan was acquitted of count 1 – the misdemeanor but she was found guilty on count 2 – the felony obstruction.
She is facing five years in prison.
Last April, a federal grand jury indicted Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
According to the FBI, Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.
