Judge Shelley Joseph of Boston Municipal Court is set for a hearing concerning allegations of judicial misconduct for assisting an illegal migrant, Jose Medina-Perez, to escape her courtroom and evade ICE in 2018. The charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice were originally filed but later dropped. In a parallel case, a Wisconsin judge was arrested for similar reasons. The judicial conduct commission's hearing will allow Joseph's legal team to present evidence as they seek to contest the allegations.
