US EditionWisconsin judge pleads not guilty to helping a man evade federal immigration agents
- On May 15, 2025, a judge from Milwaukee County Circuit Court entered a not guilty plea to allegations that she assisted Eduardo Flores-Ruiz in avoiding federal immigration authorities within her courthouse in Wisconsin.
- The charges arose after Dugan escorted Flores-Ruiz and his attorney through a back door on April 18, 2025, upon learning ICE agents were inside to arrest him for illegal presence.
- Dugan’s attorneys argue she acted within her judicial role and claim the federal government violated Wisconsin’s sovereignty while federal agents impacted state court procedures.
- The trial is set for July 21, 2025, and lead attorney Steven Biskupic expects it to last about a week, with Dugan facing up to six years if convicted of concealing and obstruction.
- Dugan’s arrest has heightened tensions over the Trump administration’s immigration policy, sparking protests with chants like "Due process rights" and calls to dismiss charges as government overreach.
