Backdoor Judge Resigns
Hannah Dugan, the so-called Backdoor Judge, has submitted her resignation. This comes after the Milwaukee County judge was convicted last month on a federal felony charge.
She faced the charge after she distracted federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempting to apprehend Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican citizen who had entered the United States illegally. Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said his office had received the resignation letter and will move forward with filling the vacancy.
Meanwhile, Dugan still faces up to five years of imprisonment following her conviction on Dec. 18 2025. She says she will continue to fight the charge “for myself and for an independent judiciary.” Here’s more from Fox6 News in Milwaukee.
