Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan avoids jail time for obstructing arrest of illegal immigrant
Fox News ^ | July 8, 2026 | Louis Casiano

Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was ordered Wednesday to pay a $5,000 fine for obstructing the arrest of an illegal immigrant at a courthouse but will not serve any prison time.

"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," said U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman.

Dugan, 66, was convicted of felony obstruction last year after federal agents attempted to serve a warrant to Eduardo Flores-Ruiz on April 18, 2025. She was acquitted of concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor. She faced up to five years in prison. Prosecutors had asked that Dugan be sentenced to between 15 and 21 months.

Guilty, but no punishment.

It’s a miscarriage of Justice!

This is a female judge ruling via emotion, not law.

It’s not about your opinion, Judge, it’s about the law and the protection of U.S. Citizens rights not to be taken over by foreigners.

America’s “justice” system.

Do the crime.
Don’t worry about doing time.
Open the court door for the slime.
You’re a judge still in her prime.

Don’t worry if Frank can’t find a good rhyme.🙄

Not a female. Adelman is a 3-time failed Democrat candidate for Congress. Clinton appointed him to the bench in 1997. He threw out Wisconsin’s voter ID law in 2011, saying “Blacks and Latinos are more likely than whites to lack an ID”

Fortunately his activist ruling was overturned on appeal with a scathing rebuke from the ruling judge.

So one crapweasel leftist judge protecting another. This is pure corruption.

Clear miscarriage of sentencing and two tied sentencing structure.

Put a common citizen in the same situation doing the same thing and they would be getting the maximum jail time. Disgusting favoritism for the privileged class.

Soooo an ‘otherwise good person’ who ‘makes a bad decision to rob a bank’ because ‘times are tough and they are uspet about high prices’ won’t face any charges then?

The hideous sow is convicted of a felony and walks away because “she made a bad decision in the moment”. We continue to swirl the bowl.
