A judge in the US state of Wisconsin has been found guilty of obstruction for trying to help a Mexican man evade immigration officials during an arrest attempt.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested in April after ushering Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national facing misdemeanour battery charges, out of her courtroom through a side door.
An immigration judge had issued a warrant for his arrest.
The judge's conviction marks a win for the Trump administration and supporters, who have sought to portray the judge as indicative of a politicised justice system.
Dugan faces up to five years in prison for the obstruction charge, according to US media reports.
