A federal grand jury has indicted Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Tuesday, following her arrest last month for allegedly providing protection to an illegal immigrant from federal agents.
Dugan, who serves as a judge in Milwaukee County, was taken into custody on April 25 and charged with obstructing an official proceeding after evidence emerged indicating that she had shielded an illegal immigrant from federal authorities, as stated in a criminal complaint. Additionally, she faced charges for concealing an individual to hinder their discovery and arrest.
The indictment came after testimony was presented to the federal grand jury concerning allegations that Dugan attempted to assist an illegal immigrant in evading arrest within her courtroom, as reported by Fox News.
On Tuesday, a federal grand jury convened to examine the indictment, hearing testimonies that included statements from the attorney of Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who has since withdrawn from the case, along with input from Dugan’s court clerk.
