An Oregon judge is being investigated after she allegedly helped an illegal immigrant elude ICE agents in January by guiding the man through a private entrance at the courthouse.
Firstly, from what I can tell; the suspect was in court for DUI Charges. So already, he’s broken the law by committing a DUI not just being in the country illegally. That’s two strikes already.
Now, I understand that people are entitled to their opinions and may disagree with President Trumps Immigration crackdown. That’s their right. But to be a Judge, and to blatantly interfere with Federal Agents enforcing the law, in my opinion is Obstruction of Justice and the Judge should be arrested on such charges along with aiding and abetting a known criminal.
You’re a Judge for Pete’s sake! If anybody can work “WITHIN THE LAW” to achieve their political goals, you’d think a Judge would be one such person.
This is a SNAFU that I feel will only increase among Legal and Political Officials across the country as time progresses.
Multnomah County Judge Monica Heeranz was notified by court staff that ICE agents were waiting outside her courtroom to possibly apprehend Diddier Pacheco Salazar, a 22-year-old Mexican national attending a DUI hearing, U.S. Attorney Billy Willaims said.
Salazar was arrested two weeks after the incident.
Williams calls Herranz’s alleged actions troubling.
“When you’re talking about the judicial system – whether it’s federal or by state – you have an expectation that people are going to abide by the law and not take steps based on their own motivations, their own politics – whatever the motivation was.”
