Federal prosecutors argue that Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan's motion to dismiss her case based on judicial immunity is flawed and lacks legal precedent. Prosecutors contend that Dugan's actions in allegedly aiding a suspect's escape exceeded her judicial duties and thus immunity does not apply. Dugan's defense team argues the prosecution is an overreach and threatens judicial independence, citing historical precedent.

Lawyers representing Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan filed a memorandum May 29 arguing her federal prosecution is not allowed, citing what they say is more than 400 years of legal precedent supporting their position. The 37-page memorandum supports and expands on a motion to dismiss, which Dugan's legal team filed on May 14, the day after she was indicted on charges she helped an undocumented immigrant who was appearing in her court evade federal officers.
