Two former Utah clerks were arrested and charged with helping illegal aliens evade ICE.
Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, both of Logan, Utah, were indicted June 3, 2026, the DOJ announced on Wednesday.
"Joma and Morrow are charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens, harboring illegal aliens, and obstruction of proceedings before departments and agencies. Joma is also charged with transporting illegal aliens," the DOJ said.
According to authorities, Joma and Morrow were working at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court when ICE agents arrived at the court to arrest an illegal alien.
The two female clerks learned that ICE was at the court and helped the illegal aliens slip through the back door to evade arrest.
After sneaking the illegal aliens out the back door of the courthouse, Morrow and Joma laughed as they flipped off the surveillance cameras.
According to the DOJ, on the second trip, Joma drove off with three illegal aliens in her car before returning alone to the courthouse for work.
Per the DOJ:
An indictment was unsealed, and two former Utah state court clerks have been arrested after they allegedly helped an illegal alien evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest. The clerks also allegedly obstructed immigration proceedings and the lawful enforcement of United States immigration laws by helping at least one of three other illegal aliens escape out a backdoor of the Logan City Municipal Justice Court so that ICE could not arrest or deport them.
According to allegations in court documents, on April 9, 2026, Joma and Morrow were working at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court in Logan when an ICE Enforcement and Removal Officer (ICE-ERO) entered the justice court to arrest an illegal alien for immigration related charges. The ICE officer had an administrative warrant for the illegal alien who was at the justice court for a court hearing. The ICE officer left the secure area and eventually went outside and waited in his car for his target to leave the courthouse before trying to make the lawful arrest.
As alleged in court documents, after Joma and Morrow learned that ICE was there to arrest an illegal alien, they took steps to identify ICE’s target. These steps included misusing court databases to determine the alienage of everyone who was listed on the court docket. During their searches, they identified multiple non-U.S. citizens, and before those non-citizens would leave the courthouse, Joma and Morrow intercepted them.
ICE’s intended target was among the unauthorized aliens whom Joma and Morrow helped slip out a backdoor of the courthouse. Joma and Morrow led the individuals down a secure area, several hallways, and eventually out of the courthouse without being seen by ICE.
After sneaking out the back door of the courthouse for the first time with an alien, Morrow and Joma were spotted on a surveillance camera waving and smiling at it, and Morrow used her middle finger in an obscene gesture at the camera. On the second trip, Joma drove off with three aliens in her car before returning alone to the courthouse for work.

I’m sure most Americans don’t realize how insidious that move was,
The CIA had Operation Mockingbird before that where they managed the MSM, including people like Walter Cronkite.
And today they have an even more powerful tool which I’m just now beginning to see manifest, where AI rewrites the narrative and history online in real time. Many things I could easily locate in the last few years are now missing or say something opposite. AI could even provide differing answers depending on who is doing the asking.
Dangerous times we’re living in.
