Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI in April and charged in a two-count federal indictment, alleging she obstructed Department of Homeland officials and knowingly concealed a man from immigration authorities. She has pleaded not guilty.

The Justice Department says Hannah Dugan wasn’t above the law, while her defense team says she tried to follow courthouse policy.

The federal trial of a Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities in her courtroom gets underway Monday. Judge Hannah Dugan has pleaded not guilty to one felony count of obstructing a proceeding and a misdemeanor count of concealing an individual to prevent arrest.
