A Massachusetts judge faced a judicial disciplinary hearing Monday for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest in 2018. The hearing came a month before a Wisconsin judge will face a trial over federal charges for similar actions.

Newtown Judge Shelley Joseph is accused of helping an illegal immigrant, who was before her court in 2018, sneak out the back of her courthouse to avoid arrest and of turning off a court recording device for 52 seconds, allegedly to hide a conversation she had with the illegal immigrant’s defense attorney. Joseph was federally charged in 2019 for obstruction by the Justice Department under President Donald Trump’s first administration.
