A former Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, has been fined $5,000 and avoided prison time after being convicted of felony obstruction for aiding an immigrant in evading federal officers. The case highlights the contentious intersection of state and federal immigration enforcement, raising questions about judicial impartiality and the role of local officials in immigration cases.
