MILWAUKEE — A federal court hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning for Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who faces charges related to allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest by ICE agents.
Watch: Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal hearing Thursday
Dugan was arrested earlier this year after prosecutors accused her of concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction. The charges stem from an incident in April when ICE agents were at the courthouse to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was appearing before Dugan on battery charges.
The federal hearing is set for 10 a.m. Thursday.
Meanwhile, Flores-Ruiz, the man at the center of Dugan's arrest, has been sentenced to time served and will soon be deported. His attorney said ICE agents will now begin the deportation process for Flores-Ruiz, who was in court on battery charges when Dugan allegedly tried to help him escape the federal agents.
