Judge under review for remarks. Transcript indicates he threatened to have illegal deported

“A Pomona Superior Court judge pro tem who allegedly denied a woman a restraining order in a domestic abuse case because she is an illegal immigrant is the focus of an “internal inquiry” by the court, officials said Wednesday.

Los Angeles Superior Court officials said the Pomona Superior Court supervising judge is looking into whether Bruce Fink acted inappropriately when he told the San Gabriel Valley woman Friday to leave the courtroom by the time he counted to 20 before he called immigration on her, according to the hearing transcript.

The court transcript shows that when he counted to six, Fink said: “When I get to 20, she gets arrested and goes to Mexico.” Since the woman had to leave the room, Fink denied her request for the order against her husband.”
