Indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan pushed back Tuesday on obstruction charges over allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade federal law enforcement, claiming the Justice Department is going after her for “doing her job.”

Dugan’s defense came in a court filing Tuesday, objecting to a recommendation filed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph that the case be allowed to proceed. Dugan claimed in her lengthy filing that Joseph’s findings would open the door for judges to be prosecuted for “official acts in the course of her ordinary judicial duties.”
