[NYPOST] The ''first formerly undocumented judge in Rhode Island'' abruptly resigned hours after the FBI raided his downtown Providence immigration law office on Thursday.
The reason for the raid has yet to be revealed by the agency. Multiple black SUVs and Providence police cruisers were seen lined up outside the building where his office is located on Thursday. | |

| #4 Immigration in Rhode Island is odd. It used to be Portuguese from an island chain that wasn’t Portugal or Brazil. Providence probably is now a mix of Portuguese and Spanish speakers. |

| #3 There’s more at the link, which makes the whole thing even odder: Molina Flynn was born in Medellin, Colombia, and arrived in the US on a tourist visa when he was 9 years old, according to his law firm’s website. He obtained his “lawful permanent resident status and then his citizenship” after spending 15 years in the US as an undocumented immigrant. Molina Flynn later attended Johnson and Wales University and the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor. He founded Molina Flynn Law Offices in 2015 as a solo practitioner, focusing on immigration, family and criminal matters, and has a location in Boston and downtown Providence. Molina Flynn’s bio also states that he is the “first gay person” appointed as the municipal court judge in Central Falls and the “first formerly undocumented Judge in Rhode Island.” He also teaches “Crimmigration” as an adjunct professor at the Roger Williams University Law School. |

| #2 “Formerly” Dems to indicate that he is now naturalized. If he is an illegal, all his cases will be appealed. |

| #1 Question: If he was a NON-US Citizen, doesn't invalidate all his judical rulings? |
