Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Wisconsin's Republican leaders will begin impeachment proceedings against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan if she does not resign after her felony obstruction conviction.
State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August, both of whom are Republicans, issued the ultimatum in a joint statement, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Friday.
"Judge Hannah Dugan, while wearing judicial robes of the state of Wisconsin, attempted to impede the lawful work of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents," Vos and August said.
"The last time a Wisconsin judge was impeached was in 1853," they said. "If Judge Dugan does not resign from her office immediately, the Assembly will begin impeachment proceedings."
