Wisconsin Judge Fights Obstruction Charges, Claims Immunity
Tap title to read story
Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, indicted for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade federal officers, is seeking to dismiss federal obstruction charges. Dugan argues she's entitled to broad judicial immunity, citing the Supreme Court's ruling granting presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts. Her motion to dismiss emphasizes the similarity between presidential and judicial immunity, referencing the Trump v. United States case and the 10th Amendment. Dugan pleads not guilty to charges carrying a maximum six-year prison sentence and $350,000 in fines. A trial is set for July 21.
