Whipped Cream Difficulties

Joseph Molina Flynn is a lawyer in Rhode Island. He specializes in immigration law. He was also a municipal judge in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

“Was” because he resigned on Thursday…

…after the FBI raided his offices.

The investigation into Molina Flynn started before President Donald Trump took office and is unrelated to his immigration-related executive orders, according to two people with direct knowledge about the investigation who would only speak on the condition of anonymity.
They said federal agents are looking at Molina Flynn over allegations that he defrauded people seeking representation on immigration-related matters.

Molina Flynn was the first openly gay person and the first formerly undocumented person to serve on the bench in Central Falls, according to the city.

He moved to the United States from Colombia when he was nine years old, according to a biography on his website, and he obtained lawful permanent status 15 years later before becoming a U.S. citizen.

No charges have been filed. Yet. But it sure seems like there’s something there. Plus, I don’t get to use the “Rhode Island” category often enough.
