A Wisconsin judge who is accused of helping a migrant evade arrest by federal immigration agents will stand trial in December.
The trial for Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, who was indicted on two counts in May, had her trial set for Dec. 15 on Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman.
The jury selection is scheduled to take place on Dec. 11 and 12, according to court documents.
Dugan was arrested in April and was indicted in mid-May on two counts: of “knowingly” concealing a migrant wanted for arrest by immigration agents and obstructing the removal proceedings.
Dugan, who was suspended by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the wake of her arrest, contended that the charges should be dropped, stating that she was acting in her official capacity as a jurist.
Dugan has pleaded not guilty.
In mid-April, the county circuit judge allegedly told immigration agents to head to the chief judge's office and then allowed the Mexican national, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, and his lawyer to use a non-public door to aid in escaping arrest, prosecutors said.
Flores-Ruiz, who was in the country illegally, was later arrested.
