Federal Case Against Milwaukee Judge Dugan Moves Forward Amid Controversy
Federal prosecutors are urging the court to proceed with the case against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by ICE. The Department of Justice has stated that Judge Dugan is not immune from criminal prosecution in this matter. The Trump administration has also weighed in, disputing any claims of immunity for the judge and emphasizing the importance of holding her accountable for allegedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement. Legal experts have raised concerns that the prosecution of Judge Dugan could undermine long-standing legal precedents regarding judicial immunity, leading to significant debates within the legal community. The situation continues to develop as new legal filings emerge.
