Milwaukee Judge Dugan Will Face Criminal Prosecution for ICE Obstruction
Milwaukee Judge Dugan will have to stand trial for her alleged criminal act. Judges don’t have absolute immunity, and can’t commit crimes.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman rejected Judge Hannah C. Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court’s motion to dismiss the case against her. She allegedly helped an illegal alien evade ICE, an event, unfortunately for her, which was captured on video and there are two witnesses. Dugan claimed she has judicial immunity. She wanted to be protected from criminal prosecution because she was a judge.
“Ultimately, as the Supreme Court has stated, ‘the official seeking absolute immunity bears the burden of showing that such immunity is justified for the function in question,’” explained Adelman. “Defendant has not done so here.”
