BOSTON (WHDH) - Federal officials have indicted a Massachusetts trial court judge and a trial court officer with obstructing justice and perjury after they allegedly conspired together to prevent an ICE agent from taking a twice-deported drug suspect into custody last year.
U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling will hold a news conference Thursday to announce charges against Newton District Court Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, 51, of Natick, and Court Officer Wesley MacGregor, 56, of Watertown, who are both accused of preventing an ICE agent from detaining a drug suspect in April 2018.
In the indictment, prosecutors say Joseph discussed the ICE agent with the suspect’s defense attorney in a sidebar recorded by the courtroom’s court recorder.
“…ICE is going to pick him up if he walks out the front door. But I think the best thing for us to do is clear the fugitive issue, release him on a personal, and hope that he can avoid ICE … That’s the best I can do,” the attorney allegedly said.
Joseph allegedly responded, “ICE is gonna get him? What if we detain him?” before having the courtroom recorder turned off for a little less than a minute.

Why can’t a federal agent pull their gun and say, “sorry, this one is mine. Bye”

If this created disbarment of the judge and jail time for both I will have faith in law and order from the Federal Government. But I won’t hold my breath.
