A Massachusetts judge has been slapped with fresh charges after she was accused helping a twice-deported illegal immigrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement in 2018.
Judge Shelley Joseph, now assigned to Boston Municipal Court, is under fire again six years after she allegedly allowed Jose Medina-Perez to walk out a back door of the Newton District Courthouse to avoid getting arrested by the ICE agents on duty.
In a scathing 112-page report, the state's Commission on Judicial Conduct accused Joseph of 'willful judicial misconduct' and bringing 'disrepute' to the court system.
While these aren't criminal charges, the commission did ask the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to appoint a hearing officer - likely a retired judge - to 'preside over a public hearing'.
At this hearing, which will take place 30 to 60 days from now, Joseph could lose her $207,855 a year job as a judge.
Joseph was indicted in 2019 by former US Attorney Andrew Lelling, a Trump appointee, but those three charges were dropped in 2022 because she 'agreed to refer herself' to the commission, where the case now stands.
The commission presented the facts of the case in their charging document and said Joseph failed 'to cooperate and be candid and honest with judicial disciplinary authorities'.
Joseph's attorney, Thomas Hoopes, said she looks forward to a hearing 'where all the circumstances finally become public'.
On April 2, 2018, Joseph was presiding over Medina-Perez's case in the Newton District Court after he had been arrested four days earlier for drug possession and being a fugitive from justice in Pennsylvania.
Medina-Perez, a Dominican migrant, had been deported from the US once in January 2003 and again in 2007, according to ICE.
According to the commission's report, Joseph learned that ICE agents were at the courthouse armed with a 'civil...

Seems this “judge” should have been brought to trial for aiding and harboring a criminal, obstruction of Federal law enforcement. Tom Homan stated such things are felonies. Not working for 5 more years and maybe going in front of some lazy soft of crime lawyer commission in MA.

The Boston City Council voted unanimously (13-0) to reaffirm Boston’s status as a sanctuary city “to protect” immigrants
Boston City Council Votes Unanimously to Retain Sanctuary Status, ‘Braces’ for Trump’s Immigration Policies
The Boston City Council voted unanimously to retain its status as a sanctuary city on Wednesday night, to “protect” illegal immigrants from president elect Donald Trump’s immigration policy.
All thirteen council members voted to reaffirm the city’s Boston Trust Act, which “delineates the distinct roles and responsibilities of the Boston Police Department from those of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), thereby promoting trust between local law enforcement and immigrant communities.” In other words, the act severely limits to what extent local authorities can work with federal immigration authorities.......
