Court Throws Out (Former) Judge Hannah Dugan's Appeal of Her Felony Conviction

You all remember former Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan: she was the judge who was caught on video trying to sneak an illegal alien defendant out of the courthouse after ICE arrived to pick him up, leaving the plaintiffs in the case who alleged strangulation and suffocation, battery, and domestic abuse just sitting there. She was indicted by a grand jury last May, and a federal judge smacked down her motion to dismiss last summer, despite a "bipartisan group" of more than 130 retired judges who signed a brief saying her arrest undermined "centuries of precedent on judicial immunity."
