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.
