April 25, 2025Federal officials arrested Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County circuit court for "obstructing a government proceeding and concealing an individual to prevent arrest." In the criminal complaint, DOJ alleges Judge Dugan "hindered the immigration agents who showed up to arrest" a man appearing in her courtroom by allowing the man "to exit through a jury door." Judge Dugan allegedly confronted the immigration agents at the court, telling them "they needed a judicial warrant to arrest someone inside the courthouse." The man was later arrested by the agents outside.
Judge Dugan is scheduled to enter a plea on May 15.
