Judge That Helped Illegal Escape ICE Resigns & Faces 5 Years In Prison!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. Judge that helped illegal escape ICE resigns and faces five years in prison. A Milwaukee judge was found guilty last month of obstructing federal agents by letting an illegal immigrant slip through a side door at her courthouse has resigned. That's only because she was about to be impeached and lose her position anyway. Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted last month on a federal felony charge, was charged by federal prosecutors after she distracted federal agents who were trying to arrest Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a Mexican citizen who had entered the United States illegally and was scheduled to appear before Dugan for a hearing in a state-level battery case. The indictment, dated May 13, 2025, accused her of obstructing the law by assisting Flores Ruiz to evade arrest and falsely advising ICE agents that they would require a judicial warrant to arrest him. Dugan was found guilty by a federal grand jury on December 18, 2025, on one count of violating Section 1505 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code. Her resignation comes after GOP members of the Wisconsin State Legislature were preparing to impeach her and remove her from office following her conviction. Democratic Governor Tony Evers said his office had received her resignation letter and would move forward with filling the judicial vacancy. What a nightmare. In her resignation letter addressed to Evers, Dugan said that during her years on the bench, she oversaw thousands of cases with a commitment to treat all persons with dignity and respect and to act justly, deliberately, and consistently, and to maintain a courtroom for the decorum and safety the public deserves. You know, as opposed to following the law, of course. As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal proceedings, which are far from concluded, but which represent immense and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our judiciary system, the letter continued. She means that threaten her long-term incarceration. I am pushing this fight for myself and for our independent judiciary, she added. Dugan, who has not been sentenced yet, faces up to five years in federal prison, and prosecutors are pushing for the maximum. One down and many to go. God bless.
