A Boston judge accused of helping an undocumented immigrant
evade a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) order in 2018 will
appear in court for a misconduct hearing on Monday.
Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph faces a civil misconduct
charge related to the incident, in which she allegedly helped José Medina
Pérez, a twice-deported Dominican citizen, leave Newton District Court
undetected.
Medina Pérez, who is barred from re-entering the United
States until 2027, appeared in court on drug possession charges and a fugitive
warrant from Pennsylvania. An ICE agent was waiting at the courthouse to arrest
him, Fox News reported.
