Two court clerks in Logan, Utah, face federal charges with potentially up to 25 years in prison after allegedly obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
WHAT HAPPENED: Two court clerks in Logan, Utah, have been indicted for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
DETAIL: Described as “self-appointed ICE vigilantes,” 26-year-old Lauren Morrow and 27-year-old Jennifer Joma allegedly helped an illegal immigrant evade custody. The pair allegedly prevented ICE from executing a warrant at Logan City Municipal Justice Court in April. The two clerks went through the court’s database to check the immigration status of people on the docket, identified a Guatemalan man, the ICE target, and two women, one of whom was from Mexico, and snuck them out the back of the courthouse where Joma drove them away in her car. CCTV footage captured Morrow making a crude gesture at the security camera, with the two apparently reveling in their alleged actions. The two women were charged on Wednesday with conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens and obstruction of Homeland Security proceedings. During questioning, Morrow reportedly refused to tell authorities the whereabouts of the ICE target. (Read more: The National Pulse, 6/11/2026) (Archive)
