Associated Press: Judge accused of enabling immigrant to escape ICE gets a rare public reprimand

Michael Casey for the Associated Press reports that Massachusetts's highest court today issued a public reprimand against a judge who accused of allowing an immigrant to elude U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

"The case dates back to 2018 when Judge Shelley Joseph was accused of colluding with the immigrant’s attorney and a court officer to allow him to escape out a back door of the courthouse after a hearing on charges that included drug possession."

The reprimand does not require Judge Joseph to step down.
