The left-wing Milwaukee judge charged with helping an illegal alien evade arrest has launched a fundraising site as she tries to push back against the charges.
Earlier this week, a federal grand jury indicted Dugan for obstructing an ICE arrest last month.
Seemingly unable to fund her own legal costs, Dugan has set up a website asking supporters for donations to help fund a “full and aggressive defense.”
Her website states:
The Hannah Dugan Legal Defense Fund has been launched, and is aimed at raising resources to help Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan mount a vigorous defense against the unprecedented attack on the independent judiciary by the federal government.
The fund, established consistent with Wisconsin’ Code of Judicial Conduct and Code of Ethics for Public Officials and Employees, will help raise the significant resources needed to present an appropriate defense to this extraordinary attack on Wisconsin’s judicial branch of government.
Judge Dugan intends to return to the bench to which she was elected. Therefore, the fund’s structure provides for stringent restrictions on contributions and strives for consistency with state law regarding permissible gifts.
Because the criminal charges are unique to a member of the judiciary, and the prosecution poses a host of new questions of law, it will be critical for Judge Dugan to have the significant resources needed to defend herself and the integrity of an independent judiciary.
According to the FBI, Dugan became angry when she learned that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing.
She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to leave the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.
FBI Director Kash Patel said she had “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse.”

Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson Kush Desai told Axios that the “days of actively aiding and abetting illegal aliens invading our country are over.”
“Anyone who commits crimes exposes themselves to criminal liability,” he added.
If convicted of two separate felonies, she faces a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine, although the eventual sentence is likely to be much more lenient.
