Overview
- U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper on Nov. 5 sentenced 31-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz to time served after a plea deal in which he agreed not to contest deportation.
- Flores-Ruiz pleaded guilty in September to illegal reentry and has spent nearly seven months in custody since his April arrest outside the Milwaukee County courthouse.
- In the state battery case, he entered an Alford plea to one misdemeanor count as two charges were dismissed, receiving credit for time served.
- Federal filings allege Judge Hannah Dugan led him through a restricted courtroom door as ICE agents waited in April, after which agents apprehended him following a foot chase.
- Dugan was indicted on obstruction and concealing-to-prevent-arrest charges, has a federal hearing Thursday morning, and is set for trial starting Dec. 15; she has denied wrongdoing.
