Mass. judge faces public hearing for letting illegal immigrant escape court in 2018

  • Judge Shelley Joseph will face a public hearing in June 2025 at Suffolk Superior Court in Boston for allowing an illegal immigrant to escape court in 2018.
  • The hearing follows charges of willful judicial misconduct after Joseph helped a twice-deported illegal immigrant evade ICE agents by letting them leave through a side door.
  • Joseph, a magistrate at Boston Municipal Court earning $207,855 per year, was previously accused by Andrew Lelling, a former U.S. Attorney, of aiding a twice-deported undocumented immigrant in evading federal immigration authorities; however, those allegations were dismissed, and the matter was transferred to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct.
  • The Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct accused Joseph of violating the Code of Judicial Conduct and failing to cooperate with disciplinary authorities, with the hearing tentatively set for June 9, 2025.
  • The hearing could lead to disciplinary actions and sets a precedent on judicial accountability for officials aiding illegal immigrants to avoid federal authorities.
