Even a far-left federal judge isn’t buying Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan’s claim she’s immune from criminal prosecution.
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan claims she’s immune from being prosecuted over federal charges she helped a violent illegal immigrant elude Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. But Dugan learned on Tuesday that no man — or woman — is higher than the law.
Apparently, Dugan’s alleged conduct was so egregious that even one of the more notoriously leftist federal judges in the country couldn’t look the other way.
U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman agreed with a U.S. Magistrate’s previous recommendation that Dugan’s motion to dismiss the federal government’s case be denied. Adelman scheduled an in-court hearing for next Wednesday in his Milwaukee courtroom to set up a timeline for trial.
‘Better of the Argument’
In his 27-page ruling filled with court precedents, Adelman noted two oft-cited cases that neutralizes Dugan’s claims that judges are free to do whatever they please in their “official acts” — up to committing crimes.
“[N]o man in this country is so high that he is above the law. . . . A judge no less than any other man is subject to the processes of the criminal law,” the ruling, citing United States v. Hastings, states.
While judges do enjoy wide-ranging immunity from civil actions stemming from doing their jobs, criminal activity in the commission of their duties is an entirely different matter.
“Even judges, cloaked with absolute civil immunity for centuries, could be punished criminally for willful deprivations of constitutional rights …” Adelman wrote, quoting from a 1976 Supreme Court ruling.
