Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan's Trial: Prosecution Concludes Case on Obstruction and Concealing Undocumented Immigrant
Federal prosecutors have concluded their case against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is facing charges of obstruction and concealing an undocumented immigrant. The prosecution alleges that Dugan attempted to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during a court appearance in April. Witnesses, including court personnel and judicial colleagues, testified over three days to support the prosecution's case. The prosecution played courtroom audio for the jury, capturing a conversation between Dugan and court reporter Joan Butz discussing the exit route for Flores-Ruiz and his attorney. Butz expressed concern about ICE agents being present, leading to further scrutiny of the interaction. Dugan's defense is set to present its case following the prosecution's rest.
