Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan found guilty of felony obstruction
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of a felony count of obstructing federal agents seeking to make an immigration arrest outside her courtroom, a precedent-setting case that has been closely watched nationally and drawn passionate protests.
A jury of seven men and five women deliberated more than six hours before delivering their verdict. They found her not guilty on a lesser misdemeanor charge of concealing a wanted person.
The case thrust Dugan, a judge for nine years, into the center of the clash between the judiciary and the Trump administration over its crackdown on illegal immigration.
“We weren’t trying to make an example out of anyone. This was necessary to hold Judge Dugan accountable because of the actions she took,” Interim U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel said. “There’s not a political aspect to it.”

Verdict reached in federal trial of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan
MILWAUKEE (WISN) — A verdict has been reached in the federal trial of Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan.
Our partner station in Milwaukee, WISN, is reporting that the jury returned to the courtroom around 8:35 p.m. after deliberating for 6 hours.
The jury found Judge Dugan guilty on a felony count of Obstruction and found her not guilty on a misdemeanor charge of Concealment. Judge Dugan had previously pleaded not guilty.
Judge Dugan’s defense team released a statement shortly after the verdict was read, saying: “While we are disappointed in today’s outcome, the failure of the prosecution to secure convictions on both counts demonstrates the opportunity we have to clear Judge Dugan’s name and show she did nothing wrong in this matter. We have planned for this potential outcome and our defense of Judge Dugan is just beginning. This trial required considerable resources to prepare for and public support for Judge Dugan’s defense fund is critical as we prepare for the next phase of this defense.”
