Prosecutors oppose Judge Hannah Dugan's motion to dismiss charges for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal immigrant evade ICE agents, citing evidence she disrupted courthouse proceedings.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge to reject Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan‘s judicial immunity argument as she seeks to dismiss obstruction charges levied against her for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant escape from federal immigration officers.

"Dugan’s desired ruling would, in essence, say that judges are 'above the law,' and uniquely entitled to interfere with federal law enforcement," says the 24-page motion. "The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected such a proposition," the motion says, which calls it a "manufactured version of judicial immunity."
