Overview

• Dugan declined to pursue an immediate appeal of the immunity ruling, and the court set trial for Dec. 15 with jury selection on Dec. 11–12.
• She has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor concealment and felony obstruction charges that carry up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines.
• Prosecutors allege she guided Eduardo Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a back door after learning ICE agents were present, and agents arrested him outside after a brief foot chase.
• U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman rejected her immunity-based motion to dismiss, adopting a magistrate judge’s recommendation that the criminal case proceed.
• Dugan was arrested in April, indicted in May, and suspended by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the politically charged case draws criticism from Democrats who say the prosecution seeks to make an example of her.
