Federal magistrate says court shouldn’t toss out case against Judge Hannah Dugan

The case will continue against a Milwaukee County judge accused of interfering with immigration agents. A federal magistrate judge on Monday recommended against tossing out the case against Judge Hannah Dugan. Dugan is arguing in federal court that she has prosecutorial immunity for actions taken within her purview as a judge in her own court. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph says that’s an issue to take up at trial, and not before. The decision is non-binding, and will head to Judge Lynn Adelman who is handling the case. A trial date has not been set.
