In a split opinion, a majority of the state Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct agreed that Britt J. Simon should be booted from the bench for bullying three students from Bound Brook and their parents “to harass and intimidate them into compliance.”

...the panel’s members heard recordings of Simon berating a boy from El Salvador as “a beggar, piece of garbage” and telling him he would report him to state child protective workers, who he said would alert ICE agents to take his mother.

“Your mother’s going to get deported. You are going to end your mother’s life,” he told the boy. “You’re spitting in the face of this country. Would you like me to spit in your face? Somebody’s giving you something and you’re spitting on it. You are disgusting.”

A week after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, he warned a 14-year-old boy from El Salvador: “Hey, there’s a new sheriff in town.”

“You’re illegal, you’re getting deported. You know a great place to find people to deport is? The courts. You’re bringing your mother in here because of your bad behavior. You’re not a U.S. citizen, either. You think I’m kidding? The ICE officials wait outside the door for people like you,” Simon said.

He told a girl he’d have her placed in a group home and ICE agents would come for her mother.

“You better not sleep. Don’t close your eyes. I’m not kidding you. You’ll have everything you own stolen. You will be beaten. Is that the kind of life you want? You want to go to a Newark group home? Why are you not going to school? Answer me. Answer,” he demanded.
