Hannah Dugan update: Milwaukee County, Wisconsin judge convicted of obstructing arrest of immigrant requests new trial

MADISON, Wis. (WLS) — The Milwaukee judge convicted of obstructing federal agents is requesting a new trial.

Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was accused of blocking immigration agents from making an arrest inside the courthouse.

Dugan filed a motion late Friday seeking a new trial and an acquittal of the count she was found guilty of last month.

“Dugan files this motion as the first and only judge in United States history to stand trial on an indictment for wholly official, good-faith acts untainted by graft, corruption, or self-dealing and that violated no individual constitutional right that the Reconstruction Amendments protect,” the motion read in part.

Dugan resigned from her position earlier this month as Republican threatened impeachment over her conviction.
