Federally Appointed Immigration Magistrate Arrested On Suspicion Of Human Smuggling

The Biden administration in response to the success of their open borders policies increased those the number of employees who could hear asylum requests from the massive number of illegal aliens who were, and still are, streaming across the U.S. border.

On August 18, 2021, the Justice Department and DHS Published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Make the Asylum Process More Efficient and Ensure Fairness.

The proposed rule would allow, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asylum officers to hear and decide applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture (CAT) protection for individuals who receive a positive credible fear determination. These cases are currently assigned to immigration judges within the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.

“Today marks a step forward in our effort to make the asylum process fairer and more expeditious,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “This rule will both reduce the caseload in our immigration courts and protect the rights of those fleeing persecution and violence.”

One of these asylum officers, a Texas-licensed attorney, who was assigned as an immigration magistrate by the federal government, was recently arrested in Kinney County, Texas, on charges of smuggling a human and resisting arrest, according to Officer Constable Jimmy Fullen.

“Timothy Japhet is a lawyer from Texas who has 19 years of experience practicing family law, real estate law, business law, environmental law, divorce, employment law, and consumer law,” Mixed Article reported.

“Timothy attended South Texas College of Law in 1998 and graduated with a law degree in 2003. He became a Doctor of Jurisprudence in 2003. The Texas attorney has been associated with Texas State Bar since 2003 and is still a member,” the outlet added.

On his Facebook page, Timothy Japhet posted a very long statement denying the accusations.

Here is part of his statement:

Last Saturday my dog and I left Corpus early in the am to hit the casino in Eagle Pass and then a client meet at the Casino for breakfast and another client meeting in Del Rio at 2:00 and finally SA by 5 home by 9 pm hopefully rich from the big casino win.

At 1:30 pm or so I was late and stopped off a paved road outside Quemado with nice little houses and let the dog go to the bathroom when green shirt guy walked up and asked for a ride to DR to which I agreed and he and then three, not one, but three guys piled in the back. At this point I lost choice in the matter I believe but I turned back into EP to get gas and the guy said I was going the wrong way to go to DR so I busted a U right in front of the Harley shop on a Saturday afternoon in front of a DPS trooper.

I was gonna need gas by Junction for sure and then we passed about 4 CLEO vehicles of different departments and I waived at a DPS trooper and still no attention….about 90 seconds later they came flying up the road so I pulled over into the grass because there is no shoulder and I’m getting my license out. and this female DPS officer and female sheriffs officer come screaming up each side of my vehicle guns out and yanking me out of the car accusing me of smuggling and yanking the guys sitting them over where you see in the pictures while tearing through the trunk and elsewhere. This is where I made mistake.

So arrested Saturday at 1:30 pm in full detention by 4:00 pm. Arraigned 9 am Sunday Hospital ER for blood sugar crash lack of insulin hand any good Sunday at 4:00 pm then to TDCJ jail Sunday 9:00 pm, Gen Pop Block J Monday 9:00am, Gen Pop Block T Monday 3:00 pm then Ad Seg Day Room Monday 7:00 pm. Ad Seg 4 Tuesday 9:00 am. Frio Med ER Wed 4:00 am Blood Sugar 17, BP 55/17, Temp 92 then Ad Seg 4 Wed 9:00 am, back for full detention Friday 9:00 am and release 5:00 pm on the street. So use my name and picture even though I look silly after having large guns pointed at me by screaming Latina police officers.

One of the Facebook users commented on his post, “Wait… I am missing something here. Are you an appointed immigration magistrate? If so you were just giving a carload of undocumented migrants a ride?”

Timothy Japhet appears to have been caught, just like we have seen with some police in narcotics divisions who kept some of the money or drugs from busts, making money from the power and information obtained while holding a government position.

Yes, he is innocent until proven guilty, but things look really suspicious at this point.
