A nonpartisan group launched an effort to have a judge who helped an illegal immigrant evade capture by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) disbarred, The Daily Wire has learned.
The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation on Monday, formally requesting former Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan’s disbarment.
A jury found Dugan guilty of felony obstruction in December after she diverted ICE officers while moving an illegal immigrant with a rap sheet through a “jury door” away from them in April 2025.
During her sentencing hearing earlier this month, Dugan said she hopes to return to public service one day, according to local reports. CASA hopes to ensure she never has the chance to return to the bench.
“Dugan has spoken before media outlets defending her actions, claiming no wrongdoing, and asserting that her internal sense of justice should prevail. Dugan claims that the only reason she is no longer a Judge is because of ‘Republicans,’” Curtis Schube, CASA director of research and policy, wrote to state officials in a letter on Monday.
“If anything, her desire to return to public service should make the Office of Lawyer Regulation take this action more seriously because her stated intentions seem to demonstrate that she still does not understand the severity of her actions. The Office of Lawyer Regulation should protect the public by disciplining Dugan,” Schube wrote.
