Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan enters plea in first federal court appearance since indictment for blocking immigration arrest
Briefly

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal charges for allegedly helping illegal immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz evade immigration authorities. Dugan entered a not guilty plea amid protests, positioning herself as a figure against the Trump administration's immigration policies. She is accused of obstructing justice by diverting Flores-Ruiz, who is facing domestic battery charges, to a less visible exit in her courtroom. The case has sparked significant public interest, with supporters rallying in defense of Dugan's actions and framing her as a defender of immigrant rights.
‘We have a judiciary that is willing to stand up for the rights of immigrants and to oppose overreaching federal immigration laws,’ said one supporter, highlighting Dugan's role amid national controversy.
‘Hannah Dugan is a symbol of hope for many who feel threatened by immigration laws that target vulnerable communities,’ expressed a protester during the demonstration outside the courthouse.
