A colleague of the Milwaukee judge accused of helping an immigrant evade arrest is testifying at her criminal trial that she was shocked by her fellow judge’s behavior.

Prosecutors played audio recordings to show jurors that a Wisconsin judge knew what was at stake when she directed an immigrant to a private door while federal agents were in the courthouse to arrest him.

A federal judge says the trial for a Milwaukee judge accused of illegally helping an immigrant avoid federal agents will proceed as planned despite talk of a plea deal.

A judge in Milwaukee is accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities.

Tony Evers said in a news release that he activated the National Guard to help police protect the public and infrastructure in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa. Police said Cole ran from officers and fired a handgun before Mensah shot him. In 2015, Mensah shot Antonio Gonzales eight times after he refused to drop a sword, according to police. In them, Biskupic wrote that he thought Mensah should be fired because the risk of him shooting someone else was too great. “If a fourth shooting by Officer Mensah were to take place, the public's confidence in the Wauwatosa Police Department would be significantly eroded,” Biskupic wrote.
