Wisconsin Judge Sentenced for Obstructing Immigration Agents | San Francisco News

A former Wisconsin judge is set to be sentenced after being convicted of felony obstruction for helping an immigrant evade federal agents — a case that became a national flashpoint in the battle between judicial independence and immigration enforcement.

Prosecutors say she endangered public safety; supporters see it as a political crackdown. This is the first time in Wisconsin history a state judge has gone to trial for obstructing immigration agents — and her team vows to appeal regardless of the verdict.
