WASHINGTON — Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine — but dodged prison time — for trying to help an illegal immigrant escape federal authorities following a court hearing last year.
Dugan was facing up to five years behind bars after she was convicted in December of felony obstruction of justice for helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national, escape out a back door to avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
She was facing up to five years behind bars.
The incident took place in the early months of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration across the country.
