   Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted last   
   month of obstructing federal agents attempting to arrest an illegal   
   immigrant, has resigned from her position.   
      
   In a letter to Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Saturday, Dugan said the   
   case against her threatens judicial independence and vowed to keep   
   fighting it.   
      
   "As you know, I am the subject of unprecedented federal legal   
   proceedings, which are far from concluded but which present immense   
   and complex challenges that threaten the independence of our   
   judiciary," she wrote. "I am pursuing this fight for myself and for   
   our independent judiciary. However, the Wisconsin citizens that I   
   cherish deserve to start the year with a judge on the bench in   
   Milwaukee County Branch 31 rather than have the fate of that Court   
   rest in a partisan fight in the state legislature."   
      
   Dugan's resignation is expected to take effect immediately.
