Federal court to hear motion for oral arguments on former Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan’s conviction

Dugan was found guilty in December of felony obstruction for letting a man wanted by ICE leave her courtroom through a side door. She was set to be sentenced last week, but instead the judge opted to hear oral arguments on a defense motion to reconsider her conviction.

Lawyers for Dugan say one of the cases the government used to win a guilty verdict was overturned last month by a 4th Circuit Appeals Court.
