Rhode Island judge specializing in immigration law resigns after FBI raids office

The law offices of immigration lawyer and Central Falls Municipal Court Judge Joseph Molina Flynn were raided by FBI agents in Providence, Rhode Island, on Thursday. However, the reason for the raid has not been revealed yet.

An FBI spokesperson confirmed that a court authorized the raid, though the spokesperson declined to comment further.

Molina Flynn’s office remained silent about the raid, declining to answer calls and emails from Fox News.

According to WPRI 12, a warrant was executed at the office located on Dorrance Street. Video footage of the warrant execution depicted a line of black SUVs outside the building, with agents entering and exiting the building while carrying boxes.

Molina Flynn attended Johnson and Wales University, then went on to University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor.

When contacted for a statement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Rhode Island declined to comment on the media reports, stating, “Thank you for reaching out. Our office refrains from commenting on media reporting.”

On Thursday, Molina Flynn resigned from his position as the municipal court judge for the City of Central Falls, a job he was appointed to in 2021.

The Providence Journal reported that Molina Flynn’s resignation was announced by Central Falls Mayor Maria Rivera shortly after news of the raid broke.

“I was deeply concerned to see the reports of an FBI search at the law office of Joseph Molina Flynn,” Rivera told the publication. “As the Central Falls community knows, transparency and accountability are priorities of mine. In an effort to uphold the integrity and focus of the municipal court, Judge Molina Flynn has officially resigned his position.”
