美西时间9月14日中午12时25分,美国国土安全部(DHS)官方账号转发首席法律顾问詹姆斯·珀西瓦尔(James Percival)声明:某些法官把职责理解成拆台,而不是执行联邦移民法;帮助非法外国人躲避移民官员是重罪;庇护政客和庇护法官一样,已被警告(on notice)。
At 12:25 p.m. Pacific Time on September 14, the Department of Homeland Security posted a statement from General Counsel James Percival: some judges treat their duty as undermining federal immigration law rather than enforcing it; helping illegal aliens escape immigration officers is a felony; sanctuary politicians and sanctuary judges alike are on notice.

声明针对的是马萨诸塞州牛顿地方法官谢莉·约瑟夫(Shelley Joseph)。2018年4月2日,她审理多米尼加籍非法居留者奥斯卡·佩格罗(Oscar Manuel Peguero,又名Jose Medina-Perez)。此人因持有B类、E类管制药品被捕,宾州还有在逃通缉。ICE于3月30日发出拘留令,未被配合。ICE探员在法庭外等候带走,约瑟夫让他从后门离开,并让书记员关掉庭审录音。
The case is Judge Shelley Joseph of Newton, Massachusetts. On April 2, 2018, she heard Dominican national Oscar Manuel Peguero, also known as Jose Medina-Perez, who was in the country illegally. He had been arrested for possession of Class B and Class E drugs and had a fugitive warrant in Pennsylvania. ICE lodged a detainer on March 30; it was not honored. An ICE officer waited outside the courtroom. Joseph let Peguero leave through a back exit and told the clerk to shut off the courtroom audio.
2019年,川普第一任期内,联邦检方起诉约瑟夫。拜登上台后,2022年撤诉。州司法行为委员会改走纪律程序。2026年9月10日,马萨诸塞州最高法院发出公开训诫,认定她制造了不当印象、违反法官职责。没有撤职,没有入狱。
In 2019, during President Trump’s first term, federal prosecutors charged Joseph. After Biden took office, the case was dropped in 2022. The state then used judicial discipline. On September 10, 2026, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued a public reprimand, finding she created an appearance of impropriety and violated her duties. She was not removed. She was not jailed.

路透社写明:纪律听证官员认为,未能证明她全程知情策划出逃,委员会后来只请求公开训诫;州高院6比0采纳。州高院同时指出,她在庭外与律师讨论、得知ICE在场后提出可把人先关州监一夜,并关录音,已够构成训诫。
Reuters reported that a hearing officer found the commission had not proved she knew of a plan to help the man evade ICE, so the commission later asked only for a public reprimand. The high court adopted that 6–0. The court still held that her off-the-record talk with counsel, her suggestion of holding him overnight in state custody after learning ICE was present, and the order to cut the audio were enough for a reprimand.

法官是守住一个国家和社会公平正义、守住社区安全底线的最后防线。法庭不是庇护所,后门不是移民法的例外条款。联邦探员依法等在门口,州法官用自己的法庭把门绕开,录音再关上一道,社区看到的就不是中立裁判,而是执法被拆台。
A judge is the last line that holds justice and community safety. A courtroom is not a sanctuary. A back door is not an exception to immigration law. When a federal officer waits at the front as the law requires, and a state judge sends the man out the rear and kills the tape, the public does not see a neutral bench. It sees enforcement undone.
这道防线若松了,毁的不只是一桩案子,是整个国家和社会的安全与尊严。州高院承认不当,却只训诫了事;DHS把话说到全国:帮助躲避ICE,在联邦法上可以是重罪。川普政府要的是法律被执行,不是法官用程序把人送出大门。能辨公私,才谈得上法庭还站在人民一边。
If that line fails, what breaks is not one case. It is the country’s safety and dignity. The state high court admitted misconduct and stopped at a reprimand. DHS said it to the whole country: helping someone evade ICE can be a federal felony. The Trump administration wants the law enforced, not a judge walking a detainee out the side door. Only if public and private are kept apart does the court still stand with the people.
