MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (Reuters) -A Wisconsin judge pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges accusing her of helping a migrant evade an arrest outside her courtroom in a case with implications for U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown.
Hannah Dugan, an elected judge on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, is facing federal charges accusing her of obstruction and concealing an individual wanted for arrest. Her lawyer, Steven Biskupic, entered the plea on her behalf during a brief proceeding.
