A Wisconsin judge who became a flashpoint in Donald Trump's immigration crackdown resigned from the bench in Milwaukee in early January after nine years in office, saying threats of impeachment over her obstruction conviction left her no realistic choice, according to court records and her own resignation letter.
Judge Hannah Dugan, who presided over Milwaukee county branch 31, was found guilty in December of felony obstruction for helping an immigrant evade federal officers at the courthouse and now faces up to five years in prison.
