A Milwaukee jury has convicted the pro-migration judge who smuggled an illegal migrant out of her courtroom and away from waiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan now faces up to five years in jail for obstructing an official proceeding when she escorted illegal migrant Eduardo Flores Ruiz out of her courtroom. Flores Ruiz had already been deported and so faced jail for sneaking back into the United States.
It took just six hours for the jury to agree on the verdict after Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Brown Watzka summed up the evidence by saying, “She was a frustrated and angry judge who was fed up, who decided to corruptly take matters into her own hands.”
Dugan has had a long career working for pro-migration groups, including Catholic Charities.
One of Dugan’s attorneys, Jason Luczak, asked the jury to play politics, saying:
“You’re the check on government overreach. Use your power to do justice in this case. You have the power to correct this unjust prosecution. It’s your decision and justice is in your hands.
“I would just say the case is a long way from over,” defense attorney Steven Biskupic said after the verdict.
Many polls show that the public overwhelmingly supports the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche celebrated the conviction, saying:
