MILWAUKEE (AP) — Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom to evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A federal judge fined her $5,000 and cited her otherwise law-abiding life in issuing the sentence.
“I think this is a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment,” U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman said.
Dugan, 67, was convicted of felony obstruction in December. Her lawyers argued during her trial that President Donald Trump’s administration sought to “crush” Dugan in an effort to ensure judicial compliance with the ICE strategy of targeting immigrants as they showed up for court hearings.
Dugan resigned the Milwaukee County circuit judgeship she had held for nine years in January amid threats of impeachment from Republican state lawmakers who labeled her an activist judge. In her resignation letter, she said her prosecution threatened “the independence of our judiciary.” Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, a fierce Trump loyalist running for Wisconsin governor, urged authorities to “lock her up” in a social media post following her conviction.
Two Marquette University law professors spoke on her behalf, including a former state Supreme Court justice and a Jesuit priest who read a statement describing Dugan as a defender of oppressed people and saying he didn’t believe there was a need for punishment. “Hannah models what it means to be a Christian,” Gregory O’Meara said.

Sounds like a J6 sentence. lol
did she ever even express remorse for her crime?
“Hannah models what it means to be a Christian,” Gregory O’Meara said.
= = =
Let’s see what Hannah thinks of this?
It means she is a white supremicist racist, right?
Woman rat Judge letting off another woman rat Judge.
What a joke. $5000 for deliberately obstructing federal law enforcement - by a judge who knows the law no less - is basically a license for others to do it.
Clinton appointed the judge that let her off.
What a joke!!
“In her resignation letter, she said her prosecution threatened “the independence of our judiciary.”
What does she think a judge helping a law breaker to evade the authorities does to the independence of the judiciary?
I hope at the very least, she is stripped of her law license if it hasn’t happened already and is barred from ever getting near a courtroom ever again as a lawyer or judge.
Defender of oppressed people
Say ain’t that the same name human smugglers call themselves?.
Community service would have been my sentence in addition to the fine. With the focus of her service being legal advice to low income citizens of the United States. Since it was they that her activist action harmed.
“”””“Hannah models what it means to be a Christian,” Gregory O’Meara said.”””
Does she now? I think he should read the Bible a little better.
Titus 3:1: “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good.”
She’s a lying Rat. She’ll be back in the black robe in less than 6 months, bet on it.
So… law abiding citizens march on the capitol on J6 and they get slammed into solitary for years and their lives destroyed.
This woman commits a felony and gets no time because “she was upset”.
BS.
"It's a big club and you ain't in it."
It looks like she is still a convicted felon, so can she still be a judge?
People of authority who break the law are treated with leniency in our system.
The exact opposite of the way it should be.
Truth!
“Hannah models what it means to be a Christian,” Gregory O’Meara said.
Really- how many illegals has she taken into her won home???
Does she lock her home doors when she leaves???
