Milwaukee judge found guilty of felony obstruction in helping undocumented man evade arrest
A Wisconsinjudge accused of concealingan undocumented man to prevent his arrest by immigration authorities was found guilty of felony obstruction, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliateWISN, which was in the courtroom for the trial.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court JudgeHannah Duganwascharged in a two-count federal indictmentthat alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedingsand knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.
Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal agents and not guilty of concealing an undocumented immigrant from arrest during an April courthouse incident.
Dugan, who pleaded not guilty, could face up to six years in prison if convicted as charged.
According to federal prosecutors, Duganencountered federal agentswho were at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on April 18 to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was appearing in her courtroom on a battery charge.
Prosecutors say that after speaking to the agents, Dugan directed them to the chief judge's office down the hall and then sent Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a non-public door in an alleged attempt to help him evade arrest on immigration violations.
Flores-Ruiz was ultimately captured outside the court building after a brieffoot chase.
During closing arguments on Thursday, the government portrayed Dugan as a frustrated and angry judge and asked the jurors to hold her accountable for the alleged criminal conduct, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliateWISN, which was in the courtroom for the trial.
The defense, meanwhile, argued that the case is an "unjust prosecution" that is "riddled with doubts" and based on "assumptions," according to WISN. The defense also questioned the veracity of the audio evidence, according to WISN.
During the weeklong trial, prosecutors produced transcripts and audio recordings that they said showed Dugan telling her court reporter that she would "get the heat" for showing Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer the side exit, WISN reported.
Dugan did not testify during the trial.
The defense witnesses included former Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was not at the courthouse that day but testified as a character witness, according to WISN.
After the defense rested on Thursday, Judge Lynn Adelman denied their request to dismiss the case, according to WISN.
The Wisconsin Supreme Courtsuspended Dugan in the wakeof her arrest, stating in an order that it was "in the public interest that she be temporarily relieved of her official duties."
Flores-Ruiz, a native of Mexico, was charged with unlawful reentry into the U.S. He was sentenced to time served earlier this month after pleading guilty to the charge, federal court records show. DHS said last monthhe had been deported.
