A Wisconsin judge who was convicted of helping an illegal immigrant avoid federal immigration agents was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine but will not serve any prison time.

Judge Hannah Dugan had faced a potential sentence of up to five years in prison after being convicted in December on a felony obstruction of justice charge. Prosecutors said she helped Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national living in the United States illegally, leave through a rear exit of the courthouse in an effort to avoid waiting agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The events giving rise to the case occurred during the early months of President Trump’s nationwide campaign to intensify immigration enforcement and crack down on illegal immigration.
