New Jersey Judge Threatened to Deport Truant Students. Now a Panel Wants Him Removed.

A New Jersey judge who sparked outrage after threatening to deport truant students from the United States has been condemned by a judicial review panel.

The judge's actions led to widespread anger among both students and parents, who felt the punishment was disproportionate to the infraction.

The panel reviewing the judge's actions concluded that his threat was both 'inconsistent' with the judicial code of conduct and demonstrated a 'lack of understanding' about the immigrant experience.

Now, the panel recommends the judge's removal from office.
