A former immigration judge was disciplined after she was found to have violated the Hatch Act while on the bench when she promoted then-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s immigration reform plan during a 2016 hearing.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) said in a statement on Sept. 17 that Carmene “Zsa Zsa” DePaolo was presiding over an immigration case of an individual who was facing deportation and a subsequent 10-year bar on re-entry into the United States. At the time, DePaolo was an immigration judge on the Otay Mesa Immigration Court in California.
