DOJ Investigates Oregon Judge for Allegedly Helping Illegal Immigrant Flee ICE Agents

A county judge in Oregon is under fire for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant use her private entrance to avoid being captured by federal agents. The judge is not facing criminal charges at this time; however, the Department of Justice is looking into the matter. “I was troubled because, on the face of it, what I heard sounded like potential federal criminal law violations and/or ethical violations,” U.S. Attorney Billy Williams told Willamette Week reporters. “Generally, we’re talking about obstruction of justice.”

The case took place in January at the Multnomah County Courthouse in Oregon, where 22-year-old Diddier Pacheco Salazar was set to plead guilty to two charges in connection with a January 1 DUI arrest, the Willamette Week recently reported. On January 27, Pacheco pleaded guilty to one count of driving recklessly and one count of driving under the influence of intoxicants.

If the investigation finds that the judge helped the perp elude federal authorities, arrest her in the courtroom. Prosecute and make her an example “pour les autres”.

This could be interesting as every Liberal in Oregon probably considers the whole state a SANCTUARY STATE

Judge’s last name is Herranz. Don’t recall hearing that name anywhere else. If you google it, you’ll see it’s associated with people who have first names like Miguel, Joaquin, Alfonso, Jorge, ... Hmm .... what ethnicity could those possibly be? Perhams Dutch names? Or maybe Korean? Samoan?

"Prosecute and make her an example “pour les autres”."

Go for the maximum sentence. No plea-bargaining. Set a precedent.

Oregon has, unfortunately, been a sanctuary state for many years.
It’s disgusting.
Animals running loose, little gangster children all over, MS13, garbage all over, furniture and mattresses thrown in the ditches and the state cleans up none of it......drugs, rapes, murders, uninsured drivers. Insurance rates going up so the rest of us who are legal must pay for illegals with no insurance who just ditch their cars and run.
Oregon needs BIG CHANGE because the democrats are allowing it to be destroyed for illegal votes.
Merkley, Wyden and the governor need to sued for it all and thrown out of office. Kitzhaber, the last governor, STEALING $ and got away with it.
What democrats are doing to this state is criminal.
They all belong in jail.

There should be criminal charges.
If I helped one of their inmates to escape, there would certainly be charges.

“Generally, we’re talking about obstruction of justice.”

Great, time for the Trump Administration to begin pressing charges against OBAMA and the other liberals engaged in criminal obstructionism.

Press charges against Hillary Clinton,....that will earn some respect for Constitutional authority.

This would be an excellent opportunity for the DOJ to show that we are a nation of laws again.
The illegal left through a back door accessible only to court employees. It is likely that this referee used her pass card, key fob or other key to access the secure section of the justice center/court rooms (where the judges’ offices are located), and possibly escorted him as well to show him where the door was located.
She knew ICE officers were waiting to arrest this illegal in the public section of the justice center.
This is a flagrant, knowing and intentional violation of federal law. Lock her up!
