A federal grand jury has indicted Judge Hannah Dugan of Wisconsin for her attempt to help an illegal alien who had an ICE arrest warrant out of her courtroom via the jury door.

For those who remember, this case began in April, when Judge Dugan had Eduardo Flores-Ruiz in her courtroom on charges of domestic violence. The Mexican national had been previously deported from the United States back in 2013, and ICE showed up in the public area of the courtroom, ready to take him into custody. Judge Dugan ordered them out, and told them to go see the chief judge. At that point, she actively helped Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer exit the courtroom through a non-public jury door, with the intent of not allowing ICE to take him. That did not work out for Flores-Ruiz, as ICE pursued him outside the courthouse and he was arrested.

The worst part about Judge Dugan helping Flores-Ruiz escape was that she “expedited” the case against him, even though this was a pre-trial hearing and the victims were in the courtroom to testify against him, and the prosecutor was not told that the judge was dumping the case.
