New footage shows Milwaukee judge confronting ICE before allegedly helping illegal immigrant exit

Recently unveiled video footage seems to depict Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan interacting with agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Milwaukee County Courthouse. This interaction reportedly took place before she supposedly instructed a defendant, who is an undocumented immigrant, to exit through a private passage.

Dugan, aged 65, faced indictment last month on federal charges related to obstructing proceedings conducted by a U.S. agency and for the improper concealment of an individual who was subject to arrest.

According to federal prosecutors, the Milwaukee Circuit Court judge allegedly aided Mexican undocumented immigrant and domestic battery suspect Eduardo Flores-Ruiz in leaving the courthouse in April, circumventing ICE agents who were in the process of serving a warrant.

The surveillance footage, released by Milwaukee County in response to an open records request, appears to show Dugan, wearing her black robe, confronting ICE agents in the courthouse hallway.

Federal officials arrested Dugan a week after the courthouse incident.

Dugan faces a maximum sentence of six years. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against her. Fox News Digital has reached out to her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, for comment on the footage.

Last month, Dugan’s legal team also filed a motion to dismiss the federal case against her, saying the judge “is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts.”

“Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset,” the motion said.
