Judge Who Helped Illegal Migrant Escape ICE Resigns
Breitbart ^ | 01/03/2026 | ELIZABETH WEIBE

Posted on 01/03/2026 8:40:22 PM PST by SmokingJoe

A Wisconsin judge who helped an illegal alien escape from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced she would be resigning from her position in response to “unprecedented federal legal proceedings” brought against her.

Matt Smith, the political director with WISN 12 News, shared a letter addressed to Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) from Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan on X. In her letter, Dugan expressed that the citizens of Wisconsin “deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31.”

“As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal proceedings, which are far from concluded but which present immense and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our judiciary,” Dugan said. “I am pursuing this fight for myself and for our independent judiciary. However, the Wisconsin citizens that I cherish deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in Milwaukee County Branch 31 rather than have the fate of that Court rest in a partisan fight in the state legislature.”

Dugan continued on to state that it was “with a heavy heart” that she was submitting “this letter of resignation.”

“My faith in God and in our legal system leads me to trust that in the long run justice will be served for our independent judiciary and for me,” Dugan added.

“...which present immense and complex challenges”

Oh, brother. She aided a criminal to escape from her courtroom. That’s “complex”? It sure is “immense.” What a dolt.

She sure torpedoed her career. It’s not like you can go across the street and get another job at a company making widgets. She is now radioactive.

Was this the bitch that snuck illegals out the back door of a court room so they wouldn’t get deported? She should be up on charges never mind just resigning.

We really need a purge of Democrats from all institutions — including the bench.

Yeah, she probably believes she is a god. She has dyslexia, maybe. Arrogant little witch.

I suppose it’s “complex” to serve as a judge when you’ve been convicted of a felony. You wouldn’t have any credibility, what with everyone appearing before you pondering your hypocrisy. It wasn’t “immense” or “complex” enough to require resignation prior to the conviction, though.

Him, and his ilk will eventually fold. They want to interpret the law, but they also ignore enforcing or obeying it. Suck on the system like bedbugs. Disgusting arrogant snotty people.
