Oregon judge probed as undocumented immigrant eludes ICE agents by exiting courtroom through side door

The U.S. Attorney in Oregon believes a judge may have helped an undocumented immigrant elude ICE agents after he exited through a side door of her courtroom.
While Diddier Salazar was entering a plea for a DUI case in January in front of Multnomah County Judge Monica Herranz, immigration agents were waiting for him outside the main door. He never showed.
Every courtroom in the facility has three doors, according to CNN: the public entrance, the one the judge uses, and one that is used to ship inmates to jail.
"I prepped my client. I said, 'I don't know if they're going to pick you up outside or what, but here's how to prepare,'" Salazar's lawyer John Schlosser told Willamette Week. "After the court appearance, I went out in the hallway and sat. My client never came out. I can't say that I'm surprised he didn't come out, but I gave him his options, and assume he had to have been escorted out some other way."

The top federal prosecutor in the state finds it troubling that Judge Herranz allowed this to happen. Herranz is on the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association board of directors, according to Willamette Week.
