The Trump administration is pressing forward with criminal charges against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of helping a man evade federal immigration agents in her courtroom. Dugan faces charges of obstruction and concealing an individual to prevent arrest after allegedly escorting the man out a back door. The DOJ argues that dismissing the case would wrongly grant judges immunity from criminal law. Dugan, who has pleaded not guilty, maintains she acted within her judicial duties. The case has sparked national debate over judicial independence and immigration enforcement.
