Dugan, 67, resigned after the April 2025 trial, which marked the first time a state judge faced trial for such an offense in Wisconsin. Prosecutors argued that ICE’s planned arrest constituted a “pending proceeding,” rejecting the defense’s claim that a warrant alone doesn’t qualify. While Dugan faces up to five years in prison, probation is likely given her clean record and nonviolent crime. The case highlights growing tensions between immigration enforcement and judicial neutrality. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
