2025年4月18日，联邦法官林恩·阿德尔曼（Lynn Adelman）对前威斯康星州法官汉娜·杜根（Hannah Dugan）作出判决：因其妨碍公务罪被处以 5000 美元罚款并免于入狱 [1]。
检方指出，杜根在法院走廊协助一名墨西哥被告躲避美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的逮捕行动，其行为干扰了正常的执法职责 [1]。第一助理美国检察官布拉德·施梅尔（Brad Schimel）称该行为是“鲁莽且非法的”[1]。联邦法官阿德尔曼将杜根的行为描述为“一时做出的错误决定”[1]。
此前，杜根于 2025 年 12 月被判定犯有重罪妨碍公务罪 [1]。在面临共和党议员弹劾威胁的压力下，她已于次年 1 月辞职 [1]。辩方主张其已受到足够惩罚 [1]。
涉案被告爱德华多·弗洛雷斯 - 鲁伊斯（Eduardo Flores-Ruiz）已于同年 11 月被驱逐出境 [1]。
Former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan was sentenced to a $5,000 fine and spared prison time by federal Judge Lynn Adelman after being convicted of obstructing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest [1]. The incident occurred on April 18, 2025, when Dugan assisted a Mexican defendant in evading ICE agents within the courthouse corridors [1]. Federal prosecutors characterized her actions as "reckless and illegal" interference with law enforcement duties [1]. Judge Adelman described Dugan's conduct as an "impulsive mistake made at that moment" during sentencing [1]. Although convicted of a felony charge for obstructing official proceedings in December, the judge opted against incarceration despite pressure from Republican lawmakers who had threatened to impeach her prior to her resignation in January [1]. Defense attorneys argued she had already received sufficient punishment through these penalties and her departure from office [1]. The individual involved in the incident, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, was deported in November following his arrest attempt [1].
