FBI agents raided a building on Dorrance Street in downtown Providence on Thursday morning.
"There is court authorized activity at that location," said Jim Martin, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Cunha's office. He declined to elaborate.
The 127 Dorrance St. building houses the offices of Joseph Molina Flynn, an immigration lawyer in Massachusetts and Rhode Island who serves as a municipal court judge in Central Falls. Molina Flynn's office is the focus of the search, according to multiple sources.
Molina Flynn was the first openly gay person and the first formerly undocumented person to serve on the bench in Central Falls, according to the city.
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed only that the agency "is conducting court authorized activity at that address."
Shortly after news of the FBI's actions broke, Central Falls Mayor Maria Rivera announced Molina Flynn's resignation.
"I was deeply concerned to see the reports of an FBI search at the law office of Joseph Molina Flynn," Rivera said in a statement. "As the Central Falls community knows, transparency and accountability are priorities of mine. In an effortto uphold the integrity and focus of the Municipal Court, Judge Molina Flynn has officially resigned his position."

"So I pull out two laminated Get Out of Jail Free privilege cards and still you boneheads don't get it? Who handles your bribes? What an amateur outfit."
YAY!! Another leftist "first."
Holy smoke!
I hope he is deported to Haiti.
I refuse to be judged, fined, or incarcerated by an illegal alien. FOR ANYTHING. But if he’s gay, well then that makes it OK.
This beyond reprehensible idiocracy.
Agree, if this was job related or political no way he resigns abruptly.
Let’s see if I have this right: “Nobody is above the law!”
If this was a deportation raid he probably wouldn’t resign, so something else going on.
Child trafficking could very well be a possibility.
Someone is doing it. Having a judge on the payroll is ideal for traffickers.
Well…..we know the fbi is corrupt
“Molina Flynn was the first openly gay person and the first formerly undocumented person to serve on the bench in Central Falls, according to the city. “
Ugh... has there been more than one “formerly” undocumented judge in Central Falls?
Are [white] men even allowed to run for mayor anymore. Or police chief, or fire dept chief, or DA?
A previous Mayor, Mayor James Diossa, of Central Falls, RI, signed up his city to accept loads of Syrian refugees.

Mayors Of Eighteen U.S. Cities Tell Obama They Are Ready To Take More Syrian Refugees

Mayors from eighteen U.S. cities signed a letter to President Obama saying they are willing to take even more refugees than what has been proposed by the administration.
“We will welcome the Syrian families to make homes and new lives in our cities,” wrote the mayors, all of whom are part of the Cities United for Immigration Action coalition.
Maybe the feds paid their debt in exchange for housing Syrians:
“As you may remember, Central Falls’s financial woes are primarily the result of the city’s $80 million unfunded pension liability....”
May or may not have anything to do with this wierdo’s case.
Probably resigned in order to file as the first candidate for the democrat presidential race in 2028.
An undocumented person? What species is she, really?
The Mayor and the Police Chief of Portland, OREGON are White Men.
