Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan cannot claim immunity from criminal charges for allegedly obstructing ICE agents, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled on Tuesday. Dugan was indicted on federal charges for allegedly impeding agents during an immigration enforcement operation and cannot escape prosecution "simply because she encountered federal agents while working at the courthouse," the ruling states, and must now stand trial.

"There is no basis for granting immunity simply because some of the allegations in the indictment describe conduct that could be considered 'part of a judge's job,'" wrote U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman in his 27-page ruling , which was handed down Tuesday in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. "In other words, they are all 'official acts,'" Adelman said.
