A judge who threatened deportation to Mexico for an illegal immigrant seeking a restraining order against her husband has been dropped from the roster of part-time judges used by the Los Angeles County Superior Court.<\/p>\n

\nJudge Pro Tem Bruce R. Fink, a family law attorney from Orange, was removed from the list of about 1,200 attorneys who are used as substitute judges for the county, court spokesman Allan Parachini said Friday.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fink was sitting pro tem in a courtroom granting restraining orders when a woman approached him in a domestic violence case, asking for a TRO against her allegedly abusive husband.<\/p>\n

Fink’s response?<\/p>\n

“I hate the immigration laws that we have, but I think the bailiff could take you to the immigration services and send you to Mexico,” the judge responded, according to a court transcript. “Is that what you guys want?”<\/p>\n

\nFink later warned Gonzalez that he was going to count to 20 and expected her to disappear by the time he was finished.<\/p>\n

\n“One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. When I get to 20, she gets arrested and goes to Mexico,” Fink said, according to the transcript.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Genius. Sheer genius. Because the police certainly won’t roll to a domestic violence call if she’s illegal, and the emergency room won’t treat her, and the coroner won’t have to receive or prep her body.<\/p>\n

Immigration – or, more accurately, enforcement of existing immigration laws – is a complex subject.<\/p>\n

But guess what. Even the most egregious illegal immigrant has the right to be secure in their person here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
