Judge Hannah Dugan's federal trial
Digest more
Monday will bring a first for the American legal system: a judge on trial for helping an undocumented immigrant evade federal authorities.
Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan this spring with obstruction and concealing an individual to prevent arrest. They allege she showed 31-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz out of her courtroom through a back door when she learned federal authorities were in the courthouse looking to arrest him.
