A Wisconsin judge convicted of obstruction for trying to help an illegal alien criminal escape federal officers who arrived at her courtroom to apprehend him is facing appeals, and possible jail sentence.
So Hannah Dugan, who was a Milwaukee County Circuit judge, is resigning.
She was convicted by a jury after being charged with trying to prevent the arrest by the FBI of Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien in her court on domestic charges.
There’s also been a movement announced to impeach her.
It was in December a federal jury convicted her of obstructing immigration agents, although she was found not guilty of concealing a wanted person.
The Milwaukee Sentinel Journal said her defense team informed Gov. Tony Evers of her decision in a letter.
“As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal proceedings, which are far from concluded but which present immense and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our judiciary. I am pursuing this fight for myself and for our independent judiciary,” she claimed.
“However, the Wisconsin citizens that I cherish deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31 rather than have the fate of that Court rest in a partisan fight in the state legislature.”
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, approved of her action.
“I’m glad Dugan did the right thing by resigning and followed the clear direction from the WI Constitution,” Vos wrote.
The 66-year-old said her resignation was effective immediately.
WorldNetDaily reported at her conviction that she had been on suspension during her trial.
If her appeals fail, she could be given up to five years in prison.
Devastating testimony during Dugan’s trial came from Judge Kristela Cervera, who told the courtroom that she was shocked by lawyers praising her for helping the illegal alien criminal, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, escape.
She described attorneys pumping their fists and telling her, “You go, Judge,” and saying, “Judge, you’re ‘goated’ now.”
Cervera explained she was “pulled into” the fight by Dugan, “who she said admitted that she was trying to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz as he evaded officers.”
Cervera testified she didn’t want to “walk in the hallway with my robe on,” but Dugan told her to do exactly that, so agents would “see them in their robes as a sign of authority.”
Video surveillance shows the illegal alien and his lawyer escaping through a “jury door.”
Dugan was arrested, suspended and indicted.
Dugan tried to suppress most of the evidence contained in an audio recording made in the court that day.
