Feds file unusual obstruction charge against Massachusetts judge for allowing illegal immigrant to escape ICE through courthouse back door. The charges against a state judge marked an escalation in the federal government's strict immigration enforcement policy, and in its battles with states and local governments that shelter migrants. Prosecutors said the judge allowed an illegal immigrant to leave a court hearing by a back door, evading the federal agent waiting outside. A lawyer for the ACLU called the charges "Very aggressive."

This will definitely take some time for a proper, hopefully unbiased investigation to settle this matter. However people have always been worried about illegal immigration for years so there might be a possibility that whatever happened wasn't true at all.
