As sentencing looms, prosecutors suggest prison time for ex-Judge Dugan
Prosecutors say former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan committed a “serious offense” that deserves a “serious sentence.”
Her attorneys, however, say the 67-year-old has already been punished enough after being arrested, resigning from her judgeship and facing threats as the high-profile case played out. They asked a federal judge to sentence Dugan to “time served” — which means she would not receive any additional punishment.
In December, a jury found Dugan guilty of impeding or obstructing an official proceeding. The felony conviction stems from an incident on April 18, 2025. That’s when Dugan led a man through a side door of her Milwaukee County courtroom after federal agents showed up at the courthouse to arrest him for being in the country illegally.
What should Hannah Dugan's penalty be? Two sides file sentencing memos
Prosecutors and defense attorneys for Hannah Dugan are painting contrasting pictures of the former Milwaukee County circuit judge as she nears sentencing on a conviction of obstructing federal immigration agents.
Dugan is expected to speak — her first public statement since she was arrested more than a year ago — when U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman sentences her at the federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee on July 8.
The case thrust the 67-year-old Milwaukee native to the forefront of a clash between local judges and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement.
In their sentencing memo, prosecutors wrote that Dugan violated her judicial oath because she personally disagreed with immigration enforcement and put law enforcement and the public at risk.
