Wisconsin judge convicted in immigration case resigns

MILWAULKEE, WI – A Wisconsin state judge convicted of blocking ice agents from doing their job has resigned.
Hannah Dugan announced Saturday she is stepping down.
Dugan formally resigned in a letter she sent to Governor Tony Evers.
If she had not resigned, the state legislature had threatened to impeach her.
A jury convicted her last month of obstructing federal agents attempting to arrest an undocumented immigrant who was in her courtroom to face a battery charge.
Dugan let the immigrant and his lawyer secretly leave her courtroom when she learned ice agents were standing outside her courtroom.
Dugan faces up to five years in prison.
She is appealing her conviction
