Federal prosecutors have charged a Massachusetts judge and a court officer with conspiracy and obstruction of justice, alleging that they helped an undocumented immigrant escape a courthouse to elude immigration officials.
Investigators claimed the two interfered with an attempt by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) to arrest an undocumented immigrant at a 2018 court proceeding.
