Smirking court clerks 'flipped off cameras as they snuck illegal migrants out back to avoid ICE'
Daily Mail UK ^ | June 17, 2026 | Emma Richter

Two Utah court clerks have been accused of flipping off surveillance cameras as they snuck illegal migrants out of a courthouse to help them evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, according to federal officials.

Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, were indicted on June 3 after they allegedly carried out the sneaky scheme at Logan City Municipal Justice Court in Salt Lake City on April 9, court documents stated.

The clerks were working at the courthouse when they saw an ICE Enforcement and Removal Officer (ICE-ERO) enter 'to arrest an illegal alien for immigration related charges,' the Department of Justice (DOJ) said.

The federal agent, who had an administrative warrant to detain the person at the court, then went outside and waited in his car until his 'target' left the building so he could make a 'lawful arrest,' officials stated.

But as he did so, Joma and Morrow allegedly took it upon themselves to figure out who the ICE agent was looking for, court documents read.

The women went into the court's secure database to 'determine the alienage of everyone who was listed on the court docket,' and managed to pinpoint multiple non-US citizens and 'intercept them' before they left the courthouse, the DOJ said.

Joma and Morrow then led the people, including the agent's intended target, through a secure hallway and helped them slip out a back door without being spotted, officials claimed.

But the two did not stop there, as they brazenly took a moment to stop in front of a surveillance camera, where they smiled, waved, and Morrow 'used her middle finger in an obscene gesture,' federal prosecutors said.

Sadly, the only guys who would pay attention to those to women were illegal aliens who needed a green card.

...just doing the jobs Americans won't do.
