Detainer lodged. Agents outside. Back exit. Keep those three nouns.
Exclusive: DHS Official: Sanctuary Judges 'On Notice' After Judge Is Reprimanded for Helping Illegal Alien Evade ICE

The detainer sat on the file. The back door opened. ICE waited in the hall.
Summary
- Breitbart reports DHS General Counsel James Percival said sanctuary judges are on notice after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court formally reprimanded Judge Shelley Joseph on September 10.
- In April 2018, illegal alien Oscar Manuel Peguero, also known as Jose Medina-Perez, was in a Massachusetts court on a drug-possession arrest with a Pennsylvania fugitive warrant. ICE had lodged a detainer the day of the arrest. Agents waited outside the courtroom.
- Prosecutors said Joseph let Peguero leave through a back exit. The next year she was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and related counts. The Biden administration dropped the charges in 2022. The court said she created an appearance of impropriety by having the audio recording shut off.
- Peguero first flew into Boston in January 2003 claiming to be an American citizen, was arrested and deported that month, illegally crossed through New Mexico in April 2007, was deported again in June 2007, and later reentered. Percival said helping illegal aliens escape immigration officers is a felony.
Commentary
A dock dad still wipes salt off a badge reader and knows a courtroom door is supposed to be a gate, not a side hatch. He did not pay the levy so a detainer would die in a hallway.
April 2018 court. Back exit. Charges dropped in 2022. Reprimand on September 10. The honest household already paid the clerk. The vinyl chair outside ICE still waits.
Look every working father who still shares a hallway with a federal hold in the eye and answer this: if a robe can cut the audio and open a back door, who still owns the next detainer in that county?
Comments
If ICE was in the hall, why did a back door still count as justice?

I stood a gate so a warrant still meant a pair of cuffs. A robe is not a visa.

Joseph. Peguero. Percival. September 10 reprimand. Print the four.

Allied benches still treat a fugitive file as a hold, not a courtesy exit.

2003 Boston lie. 2007 New Mexico recross. 2018 drug court. File the chain.

I still punch in at 2 a.m. I want the next hold honored, not walked out the rear.

A shut-off recorder is not mercy. It is a warning the street already paid.

A dropped 2022 charge is a second border around a courtroom. The first statute should have been enough.

Breitbart printed Percival, the back door, and the two deportations. Argue those nouns.

Honor the detainer. Keep the audio on. A side door is not a ruling.
