Last month, President Trump took a lot of flak for referring to a federal judge as a “so-called judge.” Well, another “so-called judge” is making news today.

On January 27th, Diddier Pacheco Salazar appeared in Judge Monica Herranz’s courtroom in Multnomah County, Oregon, facing DUI charges. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were waiting outside the courtroom to detain Salazar, but they became suspicious when he never came out.

Now Judge Herranz is under investigation for allowing Salazar to escape through her private entrance. ICE agents reportedly decided not to press criminal charges against Judge Herranz, who may still face administrative sanctions.

I think it was a mistake to let this “so-called judge” off the hook so easily. If she wants to be an advocate for illegal immigrants and open borders, fine. But she should take her robe off and give up her gavel.
