‘Willful judicial misconduct’: Punishment looms for ANOTHER judge who let an illegal alien escape

Faces hearing where she could lose her $200,000-a-year job
A possibly “brutal” punishment is looming for yet another judge accused of helping an illegal alien escape, according to a new report.
In just the past few days, an ex-judge in New Mexico and his wife were arrested for harboring illegal aliens, and a Wisconsin judge was suspended from her duties and arrested for enabling an illegal alien criminal to avoid arrest by waiting ICE agents.
Now a Daily Mail report reveals a hearing is scheduled for a Boston judge, being paid more than $200,000 a year by taxpayers, who is accused of letting “a twice-deported illegal immigrant slip out a side door of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents.”
The report said Shelley Joseph, being paid to be a Boston Municipal Court judge, is facing removal from the bench when a hearing is held on June 9 over the April 2018 stunt.

“She has been accused of allowing Jose Medina-Perez, an illegal immigrant originally from the Dominican Republic, walk out a back door of the Newton District Courthouse to avoid getting arrested by the ICE agents on duty,” the report said.
She was indicted by former U.S. Attorney Andrew Leiling, but those charges were dropped when she agreed to refer herself to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct and that organization, in a report called “scathing,” determined she committed “willful judicial misconduct.”
