Lynn Adelman

US District Judge Lynn Adelman is a federal judge who recently played a key role in the legal proceedings against former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan. Dugan was convicted of obstructing the arrest of a Mexican immigrant by helping him evade federal agents. Judge Adelman had previously postponed Dugan's sentencing, indicating a thorough review of the case. In his recent decision, Adelman upheld Dugan's conviction, a development that has drawn attention, with some activists suggesting Dugan was targeted by the Trump administration. The case highlights the intersection of judicial duties, immigration enforcement, and potential political motivations. Judge Adelman's ruling solidifies the conviction, moving the case towards sentencing for the former judge.
