Judge Hannah Dugan Faces Federal Charges After Alleged Interference with ICE Arrest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is facing federal charges for allegedly helping a defendant evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A federal judge has denied her motion to dismiss the case based on judicial immunity, allowing the case to proceed to trial.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman ruled that Dugan did not establish her right to absolute judicial immunity. He emphasized that immunity only protects actions that are inherently judicial, and the allegations\u2014interfering with federal agents and aiding a defendant’s exit\u2014fall outside that scope.<\/p>\n

The incident took place on April 18, when ICE agents attempted to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a defendant in Dugan\u2019s courtroom on battery charges. Prosecutors allege that Dugan confronted the agents, insisted they needed a judicial warrant, and diverted them to another area. She then allegedly allowed the defendant and his attorney to leave through a private exit.<\/p>\n

Although Flores-Ruiz was arrested later that day, Dugan was indicted soon after. Her defense claims her actions were part of her judicial responsibilities and protected under the Tenth Amendment and separation of powers doctrine. However, Judge Adelman rejected those claims, stating that the alleged conduct\u2014if proven\u2014does not qualify for immunity simply because it occurred inside a courthouse.<\/p>\n

The case, set for a hearing on October 3, has drawn national attention due to its implications for judicial immunity and its rare circumstances. Legal experts suggest the outcome could influence how future courts interpret the limits of a judge\u2019s legal protections in cases involving federal enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
