A jury found Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan guilty of obstructing federal immigration agents during an attempt to serve a warrant at a courthouse earlier this year.

She faces up to five years in prison on the felony obstruction count.

Dugan was arrested in April after helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz avoid plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who were trying to serve him a warrant. Prosecutors said Dugan helped Flores-Ruiz and his attorney exit her courtroom through a back door on April 18, after learning that ICE agents were in the building to arrest him.

Under Wisconsin law, Dugan is no longer eligible to hold public office.

I suspect they’ll let her walk, but only if she agrees to protecting more Illegals from ICE.

You know it! None of these libs ever go to jail

Depending on the judge that is presiding, she could do time or she could get a slap on the wrist, but with a criminal conviction, she won't be doing any more "judging".

I'd like to see her get the max but I doubt it, probably house arrest for 90 days or some other weak kneed punishment.

Dunno what her sentence will be but my money’s on a slap on the wrist, then high paying public speaking fees on the sinfulness of obeying laws.

What has this world come to when a Democrat…A DEMOCRAT!…is expected to pay for crimes HE/SHE/IT committed!

“The Horror…The Horror!”

I suppose she could ‘learn to code’. Or more appropriate to the times: ‘learn to plumb’

[V_TWIN]

Well,she certainly looks like a plumber

she’ll get 200 public service hours and probation until pardoned by the next Democrat President

She’s gonna walk with a nasty letter in her file.

Not likely; plumbers have higher ethical standards than judges.

Watch for her as the celebrated keynote speaker at the next state democrat convention.

She won't serve any time in jail. Prove me wrong.

[Vision]

Felony, lock her up.

[ClearCase_guy]

She might get a $10M book deal.

If I were nearby, I’d tell her, “Keep your chins up!”

Good. This pathetic criminal loser needs several years of hard time.

We would all like to witness some justice. I think we will just see more 'just-us'.

Not sure she gets a walk. There is determinate sentencing in Fed Courts. Judge has to explain if he went around them.
