Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal immigration agents during a courthouse incident. Dugan was charged after she allegedly interfered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempting to detain a migrant in her courtroom. The incident occurred when ICE agents were looking to take Jose Hernandez into custody for immigration violations.

During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Dugan physically blocked the agents from apprehending Hernandez and even ordered court officials to release him. Dugan maintained that she was acting in the best interest of Hernandez and believed that his rights were being violated by ICE.

The verdict was met with mixed reactions, with supporters praising Dugan for standing up for immigrant rights, while critics argued that she overstepped her judicial authority. Dugan now faces potential disciplinary action, including suspension or removal from the bench.

This case has sparked a heated debate about the role of judges in immigration enforcement and the limits of their authority when it comes to protecting the rights of migrants.
