Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was charged April 25 with two felonies for her role in allegedly trying to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom.

According to a 13-page complaint, Dugan, 65, is accused of obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. The two charges carry a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine, but sentences in cases involving nonviolent offenses typically are much shorter.

Specifically, the complaint says Dugan assisted Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican immigrant, avoid being arrested by federal immigration officials at the Milwaukee County Courthouse after he appeared in her courtroom for a pre-trial conference on April 18. Flores-Ruiz is facing three misdemeanor battery counts.

Two federal agents eventually chased Flores-Ruiz down outside the courthouse and apprehended him at the intersection of West State Street and 10th Street downtown, according to the complaint.
