Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan, who was arrested and charged last week to have hidden an illegal immigrant, previously expelled in her jury room in order to protect him from immigration officials, tapped the former general solicitor of Bush, Paul Clemente, to represent it, according to the Law.com.
Clemente, a legal heavyweight on appeal, was an American lawyer from 2005 to 2009 and pleaded more than 100 cases before the United States Supreme Court.
He appeared on the short list of candidates of the Supreme Court of President Donald Trump in his first mandate and provided independent legal advice at the request of the Ministry of Justice to reject the corruption case against the mayor of New York, Eric Adams. Clement recommended that the case be rejected with prejudices, which means that the accusations could not be refined.

Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan temporarily relieved her official functions of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
Clemente joining Dugan’s defense team is significant given its conservative political history and its long -standing career to compete in the name of conservative causes, including control of opposite firearms and homosexual marriage, according to Law.com.
He also pleaded against the Obama administration, contesting the constitutionality of the affordable care law.
Dugan was arrested on Friday and accused of obstructing an official procedure and concealment of an individual to prevent discovery and arrest, according to a criminal complaint.
Federal agents of ICE, FBI, CBP and DEA tried to arrest the undocumented man – National Mexican Eduardo Flores -Ruiz – following his criminal court appearance before Dugan on April 18 to deal with three battery accusations of crimes for having pretended two people.
Dugan demanded that the police go to the office of the chief judge and – after the end of his hearing – escorted Flores -Ruiz and his lawyer for a limited jury door, bypassing the public zone where the agents were waiting to help him avoid arrest, according to the complaint.
