Federal immigration judge suspended for endorsing Hillary Clinton

A federal immigration judge who endorsed Hillary Clinton during a Mexican citizen’s deportation hearing in 2016 has been barred from working in the government 30 months as punishment for a Hatch Act violation.

The Office of Special Counsel on Tuesday announced the suspension, known as a “debarment,” of former federal immigration judge, Carmene “Zsa Zsa” DePaolo, and a $1,000 fine for saying the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and other Democratic politicians needed to win the election. The fine is the maximum amount.
