MILWAUKEE — For the first time in months, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan appeared in federal court as her trial approaches its Dec. 15 start date.

Dugan is facing charges of obstruction and concealing an undocumented immigrant to evade arrest by ICE agents . The case stems from an incident in April involving Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant who was scheduled to appear in Dugan's court.
