Summary
Attorneys for Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan are seeking to dismiss her federal indictment for allegedly aiding an undocumented immigrant evade arrest, claiming she is immune from prosecution for official acts. The indictment, stemming from her actions during a court proceeding, cites a Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity as precedent. Dugan’s legal team argues that her conduct was judicial in nature and emphasizes that her motivations are irrelevant to the immunity issue, while she has been suspended by the Wisconsin Supreme Court pending the case.
