A bipartisan group of more than 130 retired judges filed a brief Friday urging a federal court to drop charges against Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan, saying her arrest undermines “centuries of precedent on judicial immunity.”
The group of 138 former state and federal judges called the prosecution of Dugan, who was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on one count each of concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction, an “egregious overreach by the executive branch” that “threatens public trust in the judicial system and the ability of the public to avail themselves of courthouses without fear of reprisal.”
