Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan pleaded not guilty to obstruction charges after she was accused of helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest last month.

Dugan entered the plea at a hearing in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Thursday morning, less than two days after she was indicted by a federal grand jury. The trial in the case was tentatively set for July 21 during the brief hearing.
