Ex-Milwaukee Judge Escapes Prison, Fined $5,000 in ICE Obstruction Case
Former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was sentenced to a $5,000 fine with no prison or probation after being convicted in an ICE obstruction case. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman said prison was unnecessary, noting Dugan's lifetime of public service and that guidelines are advisory. The case involved Dugan directing federal agents away from her courtroom and escorting Eduardo Flores-Ruiz and his attorney through a private jury door to delay arrest, a move prosecutors described as an abuse of trust.
