A Boston judge who allegedly let a twice-deported illegal immigrant slip out a side door of her courtroom to avoid ICE agents may soon face a brutal punishment.
Judge Shelley Joseph, who now serves as a Boston Municipal Court judge, faces removal from the bench when she appears in Suffolk County Superior Court on June 9 for a public hearing into the April 2018 incident, the Boston Herald reports.
She has been accused of allowing Jose Medina-Perez, an illegal immigrant originally from the Dominican Republic, walk out a back door of the Newton District Courthouse to avoid getting arrested by the ICE agents on duty.
Joseph was indicted months later by former US Attorney Andrew Lelling - a Trump appointee - but those charges were dropped in 2022 when she 'agreed to refer herself' to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct.
In a scathing 112-page report, the commission declared she engaged in 'willful judicial misconduct' and failed 'to cooperate and be candid and honest with judicial disciplinary authorities'.
It recommended at the time that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court appoint a hearing officer - likely a retired judge - to 'preside over a public hearing'.
The hearing will now mirror an actual trial, in which both attorneys for the judge and the commission present evidence to a hearing officer who will determine whether Joseph can keep her $207,855 a year job.
But it remained unclear on Tuesday whether Joseph's attorney, Thomas Hoopes, will move forward with the hearing - or strike a deal with the state beforehand.

retired judge =?= delay and (eventually) dismiss
Brutal?
Serious or severe I hope.
Refile the charges against her and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
L
p
Send him to prison
Public stoning.
Notice that these are STATE proceedings.
Federal charges can still be refiled if there is not statute of limitations on them.............
“ Public stoning.”
But no women allowed at the stoning.
She should give new meaning to a hangin judge.
Not as brutal as that suffered by the victims of violence meted out by illegal aliens.
Pronto.
I know this Judge and I went to school with her hub. She made a mistake but is actually not a bad person.
Drawn and quartered or a wrist slap?
Good. Probably still get her retirement.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Can’t just say it, got to be it
Who you are and claim to be
Don’t always seem the same to me
Yeah it’s more than empty words
That we’ve all already heard
You say you can guarantee it
I’ll believe it when I see it
Yeah
“Boston judge could face brutal punishment”
“whether Joseph can keep her $207,855 a year job.”
Losing future absurdly high income is far from brutal.
Shelly, you ignorant slut. Youre fired!
