This should be a shot across the bow to state and local officials who stand with illegal aliens against federal immigration enforcement. A Massachusetts state judge, Shelly Joseph, and another court officer, are accused of assisting an illegal alien avoid ICE detention.<\/p>\n

When ICE got wind of an illegal alien’s appearance in state court, they took the steps needed to be able to detain him after his proceeding. On his court appearance date, ICE had an agent ready to detain him after his court appearance. However, the state judge and a second court officer facilitated the illegal’s leaving through “the back door”.<\/p>\n

The U.S. District Attorney decided to take a course of action that would lead to the state judge being on the other side of the bench.<\/p>\n

Medina-Perez’s lawyer was also heard telling Joseph “ICE will pick him up if he walks out the front door. But I think the best thing for us to do is clear the fugitive issue and release him on a personal, and hope that he can avoid ICE…That’s the best I can do.”<\/p>\n

“What if we detain him?” the judge asked before requesting the clerk to turn off the courtroom’s audio recorder, leaving nearly a minute unrecorded.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, Medina-Perez’s attorney said his client “has some property downstairs” and needed to speak to an interpreter, which Joseph allowed.<\/p>\n

MacGregor then used his security access card to escort Medina-Perez out of the courthouse without being seen by the ICE agent, officials said.<\/p>\n

“With the recorder off, defendant Joseph and the Defense Attorney discussed devising a way to have A.S. [Medina-Perez] avoid being arrested by the ICE officer,” court documents stated.<\/p>\n

The ICE agent continued to wait in the lobby not knowing the illegal immigrant already left the building, Lelling said, adding Joseph lied about the incident to her superiors when asked about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maura Healey, Massachusetts Attorney General, wasn’t happy with this:<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement the indictment “is a radical and politically-motivated attack on our state and the independence of our courts.”<\/p>\n

“It is a bedrock principle of our constitutional system that federal prosecutors should not recklessly interfere with the operation of state courts and their administration of justice,” she continued. “This matter could have been appropriately handled by the Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Trial Court. I am deeply disappointed by U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling’s misuse of prosecutorial resources and the chilling effect his actions will have.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Constitution clearly gives the federal government the right to deal with federal immigration issues. By helping an illegal alien escape arrest, the state judge and her “accomplice” interfered with the federal government’s duties. In this case, to deal with someone in this country illegally.<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping to see more news like this as narcissistic, spoiled brat, social justice warrior state and local officials defy the federal government on this issue.<\/p>\n
