<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Dugan, who pleaded not guilty, could face up to six years in prison if convicted as charged.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">According to federal prosecutors, Dugan<!-- --> <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/video-shows-judge-hannah-dugans-interaction-ice-agents/story?id=122295812" target="_blank" dir="ltr">encountered federal agents</a> <!-- -->who were at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on April 18 to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was appearing in her courtroom on a battery charge.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Prosecutors say that after speaking to the agents, Dugan directed them to the chief judge&#8217;s office down the hall and then sent Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a non-public door in an alleged attempt to help him evade arrest on immigration violations.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Flores-Ruiz was ultimately captured outside the court building after a brief<!-- --> <!-- -->foot chase.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">During closing arguments on Thursday, the government portrayed Dugan as a frustrated and angry judge and asked the jurors to hold her accountable for the alleged criminal conduct, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliate <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.wisn.com/article/day-5-of-milwaukee-judge-dugan-trial/69808037" target="_blank" dir="ltr">WISN</a>, which was in the courtroom for the trial.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The defense, meanwhile, argued that the case is an &#8220;unjust prosecution&#8221; that is &#8220;riddled with doubts&#8221; and based on &#8220;assumptions,&#8221; according to WISN. The defense also questioned the veracity of the audio evidence, according to WISN.</p>
