Elizabeth Beckley is a magisterial district judge who apparently thinks she’s an immigration judge. The Pennsylvania Republican’s job was to marry high school sweethearts Alexander Parker and Krisha Schmick, but she instead called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the groom:

When the constable announced he would be detaining Parker for ICE, the couple was stunned. Though born in Guatemala, Parker, 21, had been adopted by American parents when he was 8 months old. At that moment, he was technically undocumented, with his green-card renewal being processed. But he does not speak Spanish or consider himself an immigrant, much less a deportable one. Philadelphia ICE was in the midst of its second big enforcement operation of 2017, and federal agents rushed to the courthouse with their biometric identification device. At about the time Parker had hoped to be slipping a ring onto his wife’s finger, he was reluctantly putting his own hand into a fingerprint machine.

That’s something Parker tells Newsweek he did not consent to. He “knew something was wrong when courtroom staff took fifteen minutes to check his Guatemalan identification card after only taking moments to check his then-fiance's.”

"I was really scared,” he said. “I didn't know if they were going to arrest me. I didn't know what they would do. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to see my wife again if they took me."

ICE let Parker go after Schmick raced home to get his documentation. Of course, there’ll be some folks wagging their fingers and asking why they didn’t bring their files of paperwork in the first place, but who goes to the local courthouse to get married and also expecting the possibility of deportation?

To make matters worse, this isn’t the first time Beckley has decided to moonlight as a one-person deportation force.
