A Texas judge who regularly handles cases against illegal immigrants has been accused of using a racist slur to refer to those defendants.
Judge Edgar Allen Amos allegedly said that the Latino defendants are not “your regular wetbacks,” according to a July complaint filed by defense attorney Emily Miller to Texas’ Commission on Judicial Conduct. The complaint was first obtained and reported on by the Daily Beast earlier this week.
Ms. Miller said that Mr. Amos used the slur in conversation with her and that Mr. Amos went on to say that the illegal immigrants “have phones and clothes and all kinds of other things.
