Two former Utah court clerks have been arrested and indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly helping illegal immigrants dodge ICE agents — by sneaking them out a side door of the courthouse and then flipping off the security camera on their way out. Because nothing says "dedicated public servant" like helping fugitives escape and then giving the bird to the evidence.

These aren't rogue federal operatives in some DC skyscraper. These are the people processing your parking tickets in Logan, Utah.

Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, both former clerks at the Logan Justice Court, were indicted by a federal grand jury on June 3, 2026, for their alleged actions on April 9 of this year. According to reports from Twitchy and KSL, the pair allegedly helped multiple undocumented immigrants escape through a side door of the courthouse to evade ICE enforcement officers who were waiting. And Joma reportedly flipped off the security camera on her way out with the individuals, because apparently she wanted to make sure the feds had really good footage for the prosecution.

They were arraigned on June 11.

We talk a lot about the "deep state" and we picture some GS-15 bureaucrat in a windowless office at the DOJ. But this is what it actually looks like at the local level — two twenty-something court clerks in Utah who decided that their personal feelings about immigration policy trumped, you know, the actual law they were hired to uphold.

And naturally, the family is already playing the sympathy card. Joma's brother launched a GoFundMe with a goal of $12,000 — it's raised nearly $5,000 so far — complete with this gem of a statement: "Their alleged actions, if true, could have been motivated by nothing more than compassion and a desire to help someone in need, and now they are facing serious consequences for allegedly trying to do the right thing."

Read that again. "Allegedly trying to do the right thing." Helping people evade federal law enforcement is "the right thing" now. The word "allegedly" is doing more heavy lifting in that sentence than these two ever did at their actual jobs.

This is the same mentality we saw with former judge Hannah Dugan, who was also charged for allegedly helping illegal immigrants evade ICE. It's a pattern. Government employees — people who swore an oath to uphold the law — actively sabotaging that law from the inside because they've decided their moral compass overrides the Constitution.

Here's the thing the "compassion" crowd never answers: if a clerk helped a wanted felon sneak out the back door of a courthouse, would we be setting up GoFundMe pages? Would the family be talking about "doing the right thing"? Of course not. But slap the word "immigrant" on there and suddenly obstruction of justice becomes a heroic act.

It doesn't work that way. You don't get to pick which laws apply based on how the defendant makes you feel.

These two flipped off the camera because they thought they were untouchable. Turns out the camera was rolling, the grand jury was paying attention, and now they're the ones standing in front of a judge. Funny how that works.
