Bid for Dugan acquittal and retrial denied by federal judge
A federal judge denied former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's request to overturn her December conviction for obstructing an immigration proceeding. The decision cited a prior appeals court ruling in United States v. Hernandez, which defined immigration enforcement steps as part of a 'proceeding,' and rejected Dugan's argument that her actions did not constitute obstruction.
