A federal judge has denied a motion by former\u00a0Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan\u2019s legal team to overturn a guilty verdict against her, in which a jury found that she did, in fact, help an illegal alien evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter surveying the caselaw, I concluded that there is no general rule of criminal immunity for judges, nor was there a basis for granting immunity simply because some of the allegations in the indictment described conduct that could be considered \u2018part of a judge\u2019s job,’\u201d United States District Judge Lynn Adelman wrote<\/a> in an April 6 order denying Dugan\u2019s motion.<\/p>\n

As Breitbart News reported<\/a>, in December 2025, Dugan was found guilty\u00a0of felony obstruction and misdemeanor concealing an individual to prevent arrest.<\/p>\n

The conviction came after Dugan, in April of last year, was caught on courthouse surveillance footage helping\u00a0illegal alien Eduardo Flores Ruiz of Mexico evade arrest by ICE agents by purposefully misdirecting agents from Ruiz.<\/p>\n
