A Wisconsin judge has been found guilty of obstruction for helping a Mexican immigrant evade ICE in a victory for Donald Trump‘s crackdown on illegal migration.
Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan with obstruction, a felony, and concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor, in April.
The indictment accused Dugan of ‘knowingly’ concealing an undocumented migrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, so he wouldn’t be discovered and arrested by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Dugan allegedly helped Flores-Ruiz evade arrest when he appeared in her courtroom on April 18 for a pretrial hearing in a domestic abuse case.
The jury acquitted her on the concealment count, but she still faces up to five years in prison on the obstruction count, a sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.
The jury returned the verdicts after deliberating for six hours.
