The Justice Department asked a federal judge to reject Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan‘s judicial immunity argument as she seeks to dismiss obstruction charges levied against her for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant escape from federal immigration officers.
Dugan is accused of helping an illegal immigrant before her court escape from her courtroom in April. She pleaded not guilty to federal obstruction charges but has also filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing judicial immunity from prosecution for her actions.
