News Judge indicted in Massachusetts for refusing to allow illegal alien to be detained - GoFuckYourself.com

brassmonkey · 04-25-2019, 04:04 PM

A state judge in Massachusetts was indicted Thursday for refusing to allow ICE to take custody of an undocumented immigrant, according to court papers.

Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, 51, of Natick, was charged in the case along with a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, 56, of Watertown.

In court on Thursday, the judge and court officer were released after appearing. The undocumented immigrant is in deportation hearings but not in custody and

“The allegations in today’s indictment involve obstruction by a sitting judge, that is intentional interference with the enforcement of federal law, and that is a crime," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling. "We cannot pick and choose the federal laws we follow, or use our personal views to justify violating the law."

According to officials, police in Newton arrested a suspect on March 30, 2018, for being a fugitive on narcotics charges. Officials discovered that the suspect had been deported twice and Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a detainer.

On April 2, 2018, a plainclothes ICE officer came to the district court in Newtown to take custody of the suspect and was told to wait in the lobby.

But during the course of the proceedings, Joseph allegedly arranged for the suspect, his lawyer and an interpreter, to leave through a different exit, escorted by MacGregor.

“The actions of the judge in this incident are a detriment to the rule of law and highly offensive to the law enforcement officers of ICE who swear an oath to uphold our nation’s immigration laws,” said Todd M. Lyons, the acting field office director of ICE in Boston.

The defendant, who’s not identified by name in court documents, had been previously deported twice from the U.S., officials said.

According to the court documents, Judge Joseph arraigned the undocumented immigrant facing deportation on those charges, but later in the day she recalled his case. At that point, according to court documents Judge Joseph asked the ICE officer to wait outside the courtroom while proceedings took place.

The indictment includes court transcripts from the hearing which took place on April 2, 2018.

So this guy was deported twice. Busted by the law again. And the judge decided for some reason this non-law-abiding citizen has the right to escape deportation once again... just because?

OneHungLo · 04-25-2019, 05:14 PM

When will democratic judges learn that they must follow federal laws?

Yeah I don't get it.

even if you're going to make a point about the fed's not interfering in State Court rooms the last person I'd want to make a statement with it's some fucking loser that's been deported twice as a druggie

In another article I read it said that Massachusetts has been fighting with ICE to not be interfering in the courtrooms because they take defendants and plaintiffs into custody and the cases get messed up and the FEDS are not supposed to be meddling in local state courts.

Evidently some places isis not allowed to go in Massachusetts are schools churches etc at end course you're supposed to be included in that but they're breaking that rule and going into courts.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

No obama did not. He basically tagged them, set them free into the country and 92% never showed up for their asylum/deportation hearing.

DEM judges are setting these illegals free EVEN after they have committed violent crimes. DEM mayors are protecting criminal illegals all across the country in DEM run sanctuary cities. DEMs constantly stonewall Trumps efforts to stop illegals.

THESE ARE FACTS. DEMS LOVE ILLEGALS. DEMS NEED ILLEGALS FOR VOTES.

Rochard · 04-25-2019, 06:45 PM

Generally speaking Feds pull rank over State matters. But not a state courthouse - Meaning, if a state judge says "X" federal agents have zero authority over that judge.

In this case, ICE showed up to arrest an illegal immigrant. However, that illegal immigrant was in court for a deportation hearing. ICE showed up to arrest someone when they did not know his (or her) status. The judge could have decided that person was here legally, or that they were now legally a US citizen.

This is what it has come to under Trump - our government is openly at war with itself.

No rochard, you have Democratic judges helping illegals evade ICE. That's illegal.

Dems love illegals.
Dems protect illegals.
Dems protect illegals that are committing crime.
Dems are not for border control.
Dems operate sanctuary cities across the country protecting illegals.

If he was a U.S. citizen, ICE wouldn't be trying to deport him.....AGAIN. By definition, an illegal alien is a citizen of another country.

So the judge should have allowed the ICE officials to wait for her judgement on whether the man was legally in America or not. Not sent him out the back door to avoid ICE. With court officer, Wesley MacGregor.

What don't you get?

Fuck it I can give a judge a bit of leeway if she thinks something is out of line in the case because it's clear Trump's DOJ & ICE are currently breaking the law. A judge isn't going to take that kinda action just for the hell of it..

Conspiracy and Obstruction of justice are crimes.

Preventing federal agents from arresting criminals is a crime.

Letting criminals sneak out the back door is a crime.

Why are you judging someone guilty before they've had their trial? Oh because you're a grain of the difference between state laws and federal laws and states rights and the right of a judge to control their courtroom. I don't know if that's what the judge did but evidently it's being said now that it was legal. Like it's legal for Trump to break the law and not be prosecuted while he's president.

Based on what you have just, what I am quoting you on... This man is facing charges on DWI and drug charges in two different cases.... And ICE is going to do what? Deport him? Shouldn't this suspect stand trial first? In both cases? And then ICE can deport him.

I understand that the federal government is "greater than" local state laws, and they pull rank. But in this case this man needs to stand trial. All ICE is doing is interfering with a legal proceeding.

This is not about stopping someone from being deported. This is about the suspect being punished for his crimes. I am sure the judge is tired of doing weeks of work on cases, only to have ICE come and destroy everything.

If ICE wanted to arrest this suspect, the proper thing to do would be to petition the court for his arrest, allow the legal process to go through his steps, and then the county court will gleefully turn him over to ICE to deported. Instead, ICE showed up, flashed his badge, and thought he would do what ever he wants.

I want to say "What is wrong with people" and "we have a legal process in place that needs to be followed". But I shouldn't be surprised. The White House lies to the American people on a daily basis, openly supports hate groups ("Both sides have good people") and supports violence ("Punch him on the way out, I'll pay the legal bills") and openly violates the law - on a daily basis. It's gotten so bad that the White House REFUSES to have press conferences.

If ICE wants to deport this man, they can petition the court, and after he has gone through the legal process he can be deported. That's how the law works.

why should we pay to try the guy? let the place he came from have him back. they can rehabilitate him... I'm thinking all the paperwork you are requesting has been completed, they didn't come tell you is all. you immediately assume a law is being broken. how did the creepy judge even know they were coming? right? bigotry in action big time.

There were something like 10 accusers and several other people who corroborated that he had been kicked out of a mall and a pool for being creepy with underage girls.

As I assumed, Trumpsters rushing to his aid. If he were a Democrat you would be calling for his execution.

BTW, you seem to have never had any problem with the Russians helping Trump, suddenly Democrats try something similar on a small scale and it's bad. Again, hypocrite.

First off, I'm not trivializing any person's or family's loss. While those stories may be what helps sell airtime on the news channels, the reality is there are far more American fatalities from the literal tons of narcotics that illegals smuggle into the U.S.

It was all a Democrat "Russian bot" fake news scheme. There was an entire investigation on it which led to the perps being uncovered.

That had everything to do with trying to make Moore look like he was being supported by Russians and nothing to do with him fucking kids.

From the Fox article you linked:

Moore's bid for Senate was later clouded by allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct with teenage girls while he was in his 30s. One woman alleged that Moore had her touch him in private areas when she was just 14.

It remains unclear if the Facebook page or the fake Russian accounts amplified the allegations on social media

Remember, collusion isn't a crime, your own boy said so. Fucking kids. . . that's another story.

Any excuse to support a potential pedo.

Even if all of this shit with the accusations had never happened, this is a guy who was twice removed from the bench for refusing to follow the law he swore to uphold. You know, the exact same thing the guy in this thread did. Yet, you fall over yourself defending Moore because he is on your team.

Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, 51, of Natick, was charged in the case along with a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, 56, of Watertown. In court on Thursday, the judge and court officer were released after appearing. The undocumented immigrant is in deportation hearings but not in custody and “The allegations in today’s indictment involve obstruction by a sitting judge, that is intentional interference with the enforcement of federal law, and that is a crime," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling. "We cannot pick and choose the federal laws we follow, or use our personal views to justify violating the law." According to officials, police in Newton arrested a suspect on March 30, 2018, for being a fugitive on narcotics charges. Officials discovered that the suspect had been deported twice and Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a detainer. On April 2, 2018, a plainclothes ICE officer came to the district court in Newtown to take custody of the suspect and was told to wait in the lobby. But during the course of the proceedings, Joseph allegedly arranged for the suspect, his lawyer and an interpreter, to leave through a different exit, escorted by MacGregor. “The actions of the judge in this incident are a detriment to the rule of law and highly offensive to the law enforcement officers of ICE who swear an oath to uphold our nation’s immigration laws,” said Todd M. Lyons, the acting field office director of ICE in Boston. The defendant, who’s not identified by name in court documents, had been previously deported twice from the U.S., officials said. According to the court documents, Judge Joseph arraigned the undocumented immigrant facing deportation on those charges, but later in the day she recalled his case. At that point, according to court documents Judge Joseph asked the ICE officer to wait outside the courtroom while proceedings took place.

And the judge decided for some reason this non-law-abiding citizen has the right to escape deportation once again... just because? __________________ Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted Windows VPS now available.

But not a state courthouse - Meaning, if a state judge says "X" federal agents have zero authority over that judge. In this case, ICE showed up to arrest an illegal immigrant. However, that illegal immigrant was in court for a deportation hearing. ICE showed up to arrest someone when they did not know his (or her) status. The judge could have decided that person was here legally, or that they were now legally a US citizen. This is what it has come to under Trump - our government is openly at war with itself. __________________ “The choice is no longer between right or left.

Meanwhile the current DOJ is doing just that. ICE is doing just that. Trump's EPA is doing just that. Every member of Trump's staff is doing just that.. Fuck it I can give a judge a bit of leeway if she thinks something is out of line in the case because it's clear Trump's DOJ & ICE are currently breaking the law. A judge isn't going to take that kinda action just for the hell of it.. __________________ In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

Republicans are furious. Roy Moore, twice thrown off the bench for violating the law and accused by multiple people of trying to fuck kids. Republicans. . . silence. . . or worse . . . they make excuses for it. Take your fake outrage elsewhere.
