Overview
- A federal jury convicted Dugan of felony obstruction tied to an open immigration removal proceeding and acquitted her of a misdemeanor concealment charge.
- The obstruction count carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.
- No sentencing date has been set, and Dugan was not remanded into custody after the verdict.
- Under expected timing, the defense has about 14 days to file a Rule 29 motion, with prosecutors to respond before Judge Edelman reviews the filings.
- If the motion is denied, the court will order a pre-sentence investigation and set a sentencing date, with appeals likely to follow.
