Barbara White, chief of the Public Defender's Juvenile Division, says it's not appropriate for judges in any courtroom to report people to law enforcement. Most certainly not in a juvenile setting, where the clients are the most vulnerable, she said.
Well Ms White, who's job is it to report a crime? It's called citizenship!
"He's taken upon himself a duty he was not sworn to do," said Mazen Sukkar, an immigration lawyer in Hollywood. "He's a state judge enforcing federal law. It's quite disturbing."
He is not "enforcing federal law". Enforcing would include arrest, indictment, trial, and sentencing the guilty. Reporting a crime is called... citizenship.
,I just don't know where my low opinion of lawyer's comes from. /sarcasm.
A big ex-USAF salute -- and a bigger THANK YOU!
