Obstructing ICE Judge Discovers Even Judges Are Not Above The Law

Judge Dugan finds herself on Santa's naughty list

She won’t have to look for coal in her stocking to know she’s on the naughty list this year… a guilty verdict will cover that.

Democrats raged and railed in protest when Judge Dugan was arrested for actively helping an illegal immigrant evade capture by ICE agents.

But once the evidence was being weighted by a court of law, and not the court of public opinion, her ‘Robin Hood’ hero status evaporated, and she was just another criminal defendant.

The evidence against her was damning enough for a conviction. And after years of Dems bleating ‘no one is above the law’, it’s finally time to see some truth in that claim.

Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan with obstruction, a felony, and concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor, in April. The jury acquitted her on the concealment count, but she still faces up to five years in prison on the obstruction count.

The jury returned the verdicts after deliberating for six hours.

[…] Prosecutors worked during Dugan’s trial to show that she directed agents to the chief judge’s office to create an opening for Flores-Ruiz to escape.

An FBI agent who led the investigation testified that after agents left the corridor, she immediately moved Flores-Ruiz’s case to the top of her docket, told him that he could appear for his next hearing via Zoom and led him out the private door.

Prosecutors also played audio recordings from her courtroom in which she can be heard telling her court reporter that she’d take “the heat” for leading Flores-Ruiz out the back. — NewsMax

The offence for which she was found guilty carres a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

With no prior convictions, it’s unlikely Dugan would see the maximum sentence. On the other hand, as an official whose literal job it was to weigh the guilt or innocence of others, she has no excuse by which she could appeal for leniency.

Of more immediate concern to her, whatever her sentence might be, are the calls for her to resign the position as judge which has not been rescinded until now.

Of course, post-conviction, that decision may be out of her hands.
