Wait 5 sec.

A federal magistrate judge on Monday said Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan is not entitled to dismiss her federal case on a judicial immunity claim.“Dugan moves to dismiss the indictment under Fed. R. Crim. P. 12(b) on the grounds that she, as a judge, is immune from criminal prosecution for judicial acts, that her prosecution violates the limits of federal power under the Tenth Amendment, and that the indictment could be dismissed under the canon of constitutional avoidance,” magistrate judge Nancy Joseph wrote.“For the reasons explained below, I recommend that Dugan’s motion to dismiss be denied,” the judge said.In May, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan moved to dismiss the case against her one day after a federal grand jury indicted her on two counts for obstructing an ICE arrest this Spring.In April, a federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.Dugan is facing up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines.According to the FBI, Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.FBI Director Kash Patel said Judge Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse.”The shocking criminal complaint detailed Judge Dugan’s actions to intimidate federal agents and how she helped the illegal alien evade arrest.Judge Dugan learned of ICE’s presence and angrily confronted the arrest team of ICE agents.The video shows Hannah Dugan in her robes walking through the courthouse halls and confronting ICE agents dressed in plain clothes.Later on, the illegal alien, Flores-Ruiz, and his lawyer are seen sneaking out the “jury door” so he could evade arrest.Federal agents were then seen running into the street and chasing Flores-Ruiz before apprehending him. Judge Dugan put the agents in danger.WATCH:The post NEW: Magistrate Judge Says Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan Is NOT Entitled to Claim Judicial Immunity to Dismiss Federal Criminal Charges appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
