Immigration Judge Arrested - (Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)

A Wisconsin judge accused of helping a man evade arrest in her courtroom by U.S. immigration agents will stand trial in December after she decided against appealing a federal judge's ruling rejecting her attempt to dismiss the case.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's attorneys said in federal court on Wednesday that she would not appeal the ruling at this time, but could later. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman then scheduled her trial to begin Dec. 15. It is expected to last about a week. Jury selection is set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 12.
