The high-profile federal trial begins Monday of County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of helping an undocumented immigrant escape arrest by federal agents in a case that has drawn national attention from the Trump administration.

Opening remarks by Assistant U.S. Attorney Keith Alexander kicked off an extraordinary trial for a public official. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is charged with obstruction and concealment for her actions this spring during President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Hannah Dugan faces charges of concealing a person and obstruction after prosecutors allege she interfered when ICE agents attempted to arrest Eduardo Flores Ruiz at the Milwaukee courthouse in April.

Rallies led by labor, immigrant rights and faith groups are expected to start on Dec. 15, the first day of Dugan's high-profile trial.
