Federal judge upholds former wI judge who tried to help illegal alien escape

Disgraced former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah C. Dugan has failed to get her conviction overturned. 

A federal judge has rejected a desperate attempt by a former Wisconsin state judge to overturn her federal felony conviction after she helped an illegal migrant escape through her courtroom back door, which is a crime as it obstructs law enforcement business.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on April 6 denied a motion from Dugan seeking an acquittal or a new trial after a federal jury found her guilty in December of obstructing a federal proceeding.

In his ruling, Judge Adelman said the federal government presented sufficient evidence that Dugan took deliberate steps to hinder federal officials from attempting to carry out an administrative arrest tied to immigration removal proceedings.

The judge also rejected arguments that the jury was improperly instructed or that the obstruction statute was applied too broadly. It seems as if Dugan isn't a very good judge.

Dugan, a leftist and disgraced former Milwaukee County judge, had been indicted following the events of April 18, 2025 when federal officials tried to arrest an illegal migrant suspect at the courthouse. Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies arrived at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to arrest violent suspect and Mexican national, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. He had an administrative immigration warrant and a prior removal order.

Wisconsin high court suspends rogue leftist judge who allegedly helped illegal alien evade immigration authorities

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has hoisted Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan from her judicial perch, suspending her amid accusations that she played cloak-and-dagger with a man sought by immigration authorities. 

The FBI, not known for dawdling, swept into the county courthouse on Friday morning, bundling Dugan off to face federal charges. These are no trifling matters: concealing an individual to thwart his arrest and obstructing a proceeding. Grave, indeed and if found guilty, needs to face legal consequences.

The state Supreme Court, with a brisk two-page edict on Tuesday, declared it “in the public interest” to sideline Dugan temporarily, noting the weight of the charges against her. Her attorney, perhaps wisely, has kept quiet for now—no immediate comment, no stirring defense. 

Silence, in such moments, can speak louder than words.

And yet, the Democrats, ever quick to scent a conspiracy, or at best to pretend to, cry foul. 

They accuse the Trump administration of orchestrating a grand plot to “chill the nation’s judiciary.” One might pause here, eyebrow arched, and ask: is this truly a chilling of justice, or merely the law catching up with a judge who, if the charges hold, mistook her gavel for a scepter? Who does she think she is, anyway?

The public, one suspects, will not be so easily swayed by partisan vapors. 

Let's hope that justice is served.
