00:01Well, a disgraced Wisconsin judge gets just a slap on the wrist for helping an illegal migrant evade ICE.
00:08So disappointing. Madeline Rivera has the details. Hey, Madeline.
00:11All right. All right. All right. Former judge avoids jail time gets five thousand U.S. dollars fine for helping
00:19illegal migrant evade ICE agents.
00:22Yes. Oh, my God.
00:24Hi. Good morning. That's right. Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan has been ordered to pay a five thousand dollar fine.
00:29She will get no jail time despite federal prosecutors asking for 15 to 21 months behind bars.
00:36My God. Dugan was convicted of felony obstruction.
00:38Milwaukee ex-judge found guilty to obstruction towards jail.
00:43In December, prosecutors say she helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz, who was in the country illegally from Mexico, escape.
00:50Yes. He's from Mexico.
00:52Federal agents as they tried to serve him a warrant at her courthouse last April.
00:57Ruiz was facing battery charges. He was later arrested.
01:01This is the original video from that time.
01:04After a foot chase outside the courthouse and deported to Mexico in November.
01:08FBI Director Kash Patel said of Dugan, no one is above the law.
01:12But before receiving her sentence yesterday, Dugan addressed the case.
01:16Oh, my God. This is worst happening in the U.S. right now. Worst.
01:22... offended herself, saying she did not act with malicious intent.
01:25She says she was forced to retire, resigning in the beginning of the year after Republican state lawmakers threatened to...
01:30This is bad, bad.
01:32... impeach her.
01:33Her attorneys argued she's already suffered enough.
01:36Attorney for Ex-judge found guilty of helping migrant evades fail.
01:44She says she intends to return to public service.
01:47Wow.
01:47Guys, back to you.
01:48Thanks so much, Maddie.
01:49It's insane that during the sentencing, she expressed no remorse.
01:55No, no, no, no, no. One percent of them.
01:58And yet they gave her a light sentence.
02:00Yeah.
02:00Who does that?
02:01Right. Now she avoided jail. I don't get it.
02:03Letting out a criminal.
02:05See his glory.
02:06See his glory.
