The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended a judge charged with two federal counts on allegations of trying to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, 65, was charged April 25 with two federal counts of obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. She is accused of trying to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, avoid arrest by federal immigration officials after he appeared in her courtroom at the Milwaukee County Courthouse for a pretrial conference on April 18.
Under the Supreme Court's order, Dugan is not allowed to carry out her responsibilities as a Milwaukee County judge beginning April 29 "until further order of the court." Dugan will continue to be paid her $174,512 annual salary while on administrative leave.
