A federal court has decided that the criminal case against Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan will proceed, after she was indicted for allegedly helping an immigrant evade federal agents by guiding him through her courtroom. Dugan's attorneys argued for dismissal citing judicial immunity, but the judge ruled that immunity does not apply to criminal acts, and the case will move to trial. The case stems from an incident in April involving federal agents and an immigrant, with Dugan denying any wrongdoing.
