Trial for judge accused of helping illegal immigrant evade arrest set for December

Published September 3, 2025 5:23pm ET



Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan will go on trial in December for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade federal immigration authorities, a federal judge said on Wednesday.

Dugan’s trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin will be held on Dec. 15 in a federal courthouse in Milwaukee, while jury selection will be held on Dec. 11 and 12. The trial was originally scheduled for July 21, but that date was scrapped after Dugan filed a motion to dismiss the case, claiming she was immune from the criminal obstruction charges filed against her by the Justice Department.
