Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, a former Wisconsin judge, is sentenced to a $5,000 fine after a jury found her guilty of felony obstruction connected to an immigration enforcement incident. Multiple outlets report that during a court hearing, Dugan attempted to help an immigrant evade federal officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The jury’s guilty verdict leads to the sentencing outcome reported by all sources: Wednesday’s decision imposes a monetary penalty but does not include prison time.
The Washington Times, CBS News, New York Post, and Daily Caller all describe the case as one in which Dugan’s actions in her courtroom interfered with an ICE arrest or effort to take the person into federal custody. While the outlets vary in wording, they consistently state that the final sentence is a $5,000 fine and that Dugan does not serve jail time. The reports also identify Dugan as the defendant and set the sentencing as occurring on Wednesday, following her conviction.
