A shocking scene unfolded Thursday morning in America’s smallest state that might be related to President Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.
As The Providence Journal reported, FBI agents raided the law offices of Joseph Molina Flynn at The 127 Dorrance St. building in Providence. Molina Flynn is a prominent immigration lawyer in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and serves as a municipal court judge in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
The Valley Breeze notes that Molina Flynn was once an illegal alien from Colombia before becoming an attorney. He became the first illegal to serve on the bench in Central Falls back in 2021.
Footage captured by NBC 10 Rhode Island’s Brian Crandall shows the moment FBI agents walked into Molina Flynn’s law offices to gather evidence.

It’s not immediately clear why government officials targeted Molina Flynn’s office.
Jim Martin, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Cunha’s office, stated that there was “unauthorized activity” at the location but declined to elaborate.
An FBI spokeswoman told The Providence Journal that the agency was “conducting court-authorized activity at that address.”
Central Falls Mayor Maria Rivera announced Molina Flynn’s resignation as municipal court judge following the FBI raid:
“I was deeply concerned to see the reports of an FBI search at the law office of Joseph Molina Flynn,” Rivera said in a statement. “As the Central Falls community knows, transparency and accountability are priorities of mine.
“In an effort to uphold the integrity and focus of the Municipal Court, Judge Molina Flynn has officially resigned his position.”
