Former Wisconsin judge spared prison for obstructing ICE arrest of Mexican immigrant
A former Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, received a $5,000 fine instead of prison time for helping a Mexican defendant avoid an attempted arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in a courthouse hallway. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman characterized her actions as a momentary lapse driven by frustration with U.S. immigration policies. The case concluded with no incarceration, emphasizing her otherwise positive record.
