Hannah Dugan update: WI judge's defense argues 'top levels of government' pushed to bring charges
"You don't have to agree with immigration enforcement policy to see this was wrong,"
"You just have to agree the law applies equally to everyone."
"Give me a break,"
"A judge does not have absolute authority to do whatever she wants whenever she puts on her robe,"
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is charged with obstruction and concealment for allegedly helping 31-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade a federal immigration task force at the Milwaukee County Courthouse. Prosecutors say Dugan intentionally interfered with the arrest and placed personal beliefs above the law, arguing the law must apply equally to everyone. Defense counsel argued that top levels of government were involved in bringing the charges and that Dugan would not risk her career to help Flores-Ruiz. Dugan did not testify and the case went to the jury after a four-day trial.
