Former Wisconsin Judge to be Sentenced After Conviction in Obstructing Arrest of Mexican Immigrant The upcoming sentencing of former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan marks a rare instance where a state judge has been held accountable for obstructing immigration agents.
Her case highlights the fraught relationship between judges and executive power in the United States, with her actions demonstrating a blatant disregard for her own oath as a judge.
Dugan's obstruction was brazen: she actively intervened on behalf of an undocumented immigrant facing arrest, directing immigration agents to a different judge's office.
