Milwaukee judge faces trial for aiding undocumented man.

The federal trial for Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, accused of obstructing immigration proceedings by concealing an undocumented man, is set to begin Monday. Dugan pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces up to six years in prison if convicted. Prosecutors allege she directed federal agents away from the man to help him evade arrest on immigration violations. Dugan’s lawyers argue for judicial immunity but the motion was denied, leading to her suspension by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
