Overview
- A 14-member panel was sworn after hours of voir dire that included private, in-chambers questioning, with opening statements set for Monday in Milwaukee.
- Judge Hannah Dugan has pleaded not guilty to obstruction and concealing a person, charges tied to an April 18 encounter involving defendant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz.
- Prosecutors plan roughly 25 to 28 witnesses and will present courthouse hallway video that shows movements but includes no audio.
- Flores-Ruiz later pleaded guilty to unlawful reentry and was deported in November, according to federal records.
- A judge denied Dugan’s judicial-immunity motion; her defense says she followed courthouse guidance by directing agents to the chief judge, and she remains suspended from the bench.
