FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at the law offices of immigration lawyer and Central Falls Municipal Court Judge Joseph Molina Flynn in Providence, Rhode Island , on Thursday. The reasons behind the raid remain undisclosed, with an FBI spokesperson declining further comment. Video footage captured by WPRI 12 showed a line of black SUVs outside the Dorrance Street office, as agents entered and exited the building carrying boxes.
Sources familiar with the investigation, as reported by WPRI 12, indicated that the probe into Molina Flynn began before President Donald Trump's return to the White House earlier this week. Molina Flynn's law firm, established in 2015, specializes in immigration, family, and criminal matters. The firm's website states that the judge was born in Medellin, Colombia, and arrived in the United States at age nine on a tourist visa. He reportedly resided in the country undocumented for 15 years before obtaining lawful permanent resident status. Molina Flynn's legal journey took him from Johnson and Wales University to the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor.Reached for comment, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Rhode Island declined to address the media reporting. Following the news of the raid, Molina Flynn resigned from his position as the municipal court judge for the City of Central Falls, a role he was appointed to in 2021. Central Falls Mayor Maria Rivera announced Molina Flynn's resignation, stating that transparency and accountability are priorities for the community. She emphasized that the resignation aims to preserve the integrity and focus of the municipal court.
