Federal judge pauses sentencing to weigh argument in Wisconsin judge's immigration case conviction

A federal judge postponed the sentencing of former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted of felony obstruction for helping an immigrant evade federal officers, to consider arguments about whether her conviction should be overturned. Dugan's attorney cited a Virginia case where a federal appeals court ruled that an immigration detention did not constitute a 'pending proceeding' under the relevant law, arguing her conviction was invalid.
