"Adela Tesnow via AP, Pool Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of felony obstruction in federal court on Thursday night after she helped an undocumented immigrant briefly evade federal authorities. Dugan was found not guilty on a charge of concealing person from arrest. On April 18, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Milwaukee resident, was in Dugan's court to face domestic battery charges."
"Shortly before her first hearing of the day, Dugan was told by a clerk that agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement were in the hallway outside of her courtroom. Those agents were waiting for Flores-Ruiz's hearing to end so that they could apprehend him. Witnesses testified that they saw Dugan exit her courtroom and entered another one, where she instructed a judge to follow her into the hallway to approach an agent."
