一名因妨碍无证移民逮捕而被定罪的前法官周三被判处罚款5000美元，但免于入狱服刑。
时任密尔沃基县法官的汉娜·达根在法庭外干预逮捕行动，去年12月被陪审团裁定一项妨碍官方诉讼的重罪罪名成立。达根已于今年1月辞去法官职务。
据当地媒体报道，威斯康星州东区联邦地区法官林恩·S·阿德尔曼判处达根5000美元罚款，但未判处其缓刑或监禁。阿德尔曼曾是民主党州参议员，由比尔·克林顿总统任命为联邦法官。
美国司法部将此案作为宣传案例，联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔在社交媒体帖子中公开了达根的逮捕事件，后来还发布了戴着手铐的达根照片。
达根原本面临最高五年的监禁。检察官未要求具体刑期，但援引联邦量刑指南建议判处15至21个月监禁。达根的律师团队请求不予监禁，并表示计划对定罪提出上诉。
2025年4月，联邦特工在达根的法庭外出现，当时爱德华多·弗洛雷斯·鲁伊斯因轻罪殴打指控出庭受审。特工此行旨在逮捕弗洛雷斯·鲁伊斯，他曾于2013年被遣返墨西哥，后再次非法进入美国。
达根与特工对峙，并让他们前往县首席法官的办公室。大部分特工离开后，达根推迟了弗洛雷斯·鲁伊斯的听证会，并让他从法庭后门离开。特工们很快在法庭外追上了他并将其逮捕，他于同年11月再次被遣返。

A former judge convicted of obstructing the arrest of an undocumented immigrant was sentenced Wednesday to a $5,000 fine but spared time behind bars.
A jury in December convicted Hannah Dugan of a felony count of obstructing an official proceeding for interfering with the arrest outside of her courtroom while she was serving as a Milwaukee County judge. Dugan resigned as a judge in January.
U.S. District Judge Lynn S. Adelman of Wisconsin’s Eastern District fined Dugan $5,000 but did not sentence her to probation or prison time, according to local media reports. Adelman, a former Democratic state senator, was appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton.
The Justice Department used the case as a rallying point, with FBI Director Kash Patel making her arrest public in a social media post and later sharing a photo of the judge in handcuffs.
Dugan faced up to five years in prison. Prosecutors did not ask for a specific sentence but cited federal sentencing guidelines that recommended a sentence of 15 to 21 months imprisonment. Dugan’s attorneys asked that she be given no time in prison and have said they plan to appeal her conviction.
In April 2025, federal agents showed up outside Dugan’s courtroom when Eduardo Flores Ruiz appeared before her on misdemeanor battery charges. They were there to arrest Flores Ruiz, who had been deported to Mexico in 2013 and was again in the United States illegally.
Dugan confronted the agents and sent them down the hall to the office of the county’s chief judge. While most of the agents were away, she postponed Flores Ruiz’s hearing and told him to go out a back door in her courtroom. The agents caught up to him soon afterward outside of the courthouse and arrested him; he was deported in November.
