密尔沃基法官因妨碍移民案件被定罪

Summary

密尔沃基县巡回法官汉娜·杜根因协助一名墨西哥移民逃避联邦移民当局,被判犯有重罪妨碍罪。

密尔沃基县巡回法官汉娜·杜根因协助墨西哥移民爱德华多·弗洛雷斯-鲁伊斯逃避联邦移民当局,被判犯有重罪妨碍罪。陪审团对她隐瞒个人以防止逮捕的轻罪指控予以无罪释放。

指控源于4月18日的事件,当时杜根被指控误导美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)特工,并协助弗洛雷斯-鲁伊斯通过法庭的私人门离开,使其暂时避免被逮捕。随后他在法院外被捕。

美国检察官布拉德·希梅尔强调此案关注法治原则,他表示:“虽然此案对所有相关人员都很严重,但归根结底,这只是公共法院中一天的不当行为。”

杜根的辩护方辩称,她是在对ICE活动存在混乱的情况下遵守法院规程。她的律师史蒂文·比斯库皮克对判决结果表示失望,并指出:“此案远未结束。”

该定罪可能面临最高五年监禁的刑罚。判刑日期尚未确定。
