Wisconsin judge accused of helping man evade ICE arrest loses a bid to drop charges
- On August 26, 2025, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman denied dismissal of the federal prosecution involving Milwaukee County’s Judge Hannah Dugan, allowing the matter to move forward to a trial in Milwaukee.
- This ruling follows Dugan's May indictment for allegedly obstructing federal immigration agents and assisting undocumented immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz in evading arrest during an incident at the courthouse in Milwaukee on April 18, 2025.
- The charges allege Dugan confronted ICE agents, falsely claimed they needed a judicial warrant, directed them away, and arranged for Flores-Ruiz to leave via a non-public jury door.
- In his 27-page ruling, Adelman dismissed Dugan's claim of judicial immunity, emphasizing that simply because some allegations involve actions that might be associated with a judge’s official duties, that alone does not justify immunity.
- Dugan, who has pleaded not guilty and is currently suspended from her role as a judge, faces potential penalties including up to five years of imprisonment and monetary fines if found guilty; a hearing on Sept. 3 will determine the case's scheduling details.
