Former Milwaukee judge loses last-chance appeal of ICE obstruction conviction

A federal judge upheld the felony obstruction conviction of Hannah Dugan, a former Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, after she was found guilty of obstructing ICE officers. Dugan's appeal argued judicial immunity, but the court denied her motion for a new trial, citing a recent Fourth Circuit ruling in United States v. Hernandez that narrowed the definition of 'pending proceeding.'
