威斯康星州的联邦审判将于周一开始法官被指控隐瞒一名无证男子，以防止他被移民局逮捕。
密尔沃基县巡回法院法官汉娜·杜根是受到两项联邦指控指控她妨碍了国土安全部的正式免职程序并于4月份在法院故意向移民局隐瞒了该男子。
她不服罪。
继上周挑选陪审团之后，预计密尔沃基审判将于周一开始开庭陈述。
检察官告诉法庭，他们预计将有25至28名证人。
如果罪名成立，杜根可能面临长达六年的监禁。
根据联邦检察官的说法，杜根遭遇联邦特工他们于4月18日在密尔沃基县巡回法院逮捕了爱德华多·弗洛雷斯-鲁伊斯，后者因被指控殴打而出现在她的法庭上。

检察官说，在与特工交谈后，杜根指引他们到大厅尽头的首席法官办公室，然后让弗洛雷斯-鲁伊斯和他的律师走出一扇非公开的门，当局声称，这是为了帮助他逃避因违反移民法而被逮捕。
杜根的律师称她的被捕“几乎前所未有”，并试图驳回此案，辩称她对官方行为享有司法豁免权，对她的起诉违反宪法。林恩·阿德尔曼法官驳回动议认为“仅仅因为起诉书中的一些指控描述了可以被视为‘法官工作的一部分’的行为，就给予豁免权是没有依据的。”"

墨西哥人弗洛雷斯-鲁伊斯后来被捕，并被指控非法进入美国
联邦法院记录显示，本月早些时候，他在认罪后被判服刑。DHS上个月说他被驱逐出境了.
Federal trial to begin for Milwaukee judge accused of helping undocumented man evade arrest
The federal trial is set to start on Monday for a Wisconsinjudge accused of concealingan undocumented man to prevent his arrest by immigration authorities.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court JudgeHannah Duganwascharged in a two-count federal indictmentthat alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedingsand knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.
She has pleaded not guilty.
Opening statements are expected to get underway on Monday in the Milwaukee trial, following jury selection last week.
Prosecutors have told the court they expect to have 25 to 28 witnesses.
Dugan could face up to six years in prison if convicted as charged.
According to federal prosecutors, Duganencountered federal agentswho were at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on April 18 to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was appearing in her courtroom on a battery charge.

Prosecutors say that after speaking to the agents, Dugan directed them to the chief judge's office down the hall and then sent Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a non-public door in an alleged attempt, authorities claim, to help him evade arrest on immigration violations.
Dugan's lawyers have called her arrest "virtually unprecedented" and sought to dismiss the case, arguing she has judicial immunity for official acts and her prosecution is unconstitutional.Judge Lynn Adelmandenied the motion, finding there was "no basis for granting immunity simply because some of the allegations in the indictment describe conduct that could be considered 'part of a judge's job.'"

The Wisconsin Supreme Courtsuspended Dugan in the wakeof her arrest, stating in an order it was "in the public interest that she be temporarily relieved of her official duties."
Flores-Ruiz, a native of Mexico, was later arrested and charged with unlawful reentry into the U.S.
He was sentenced to time served earlier this month after pleading guilty to the charge, federal court records show. DHS said last monthhe had been deported.
