UMVA has learned that two former Utah clerks have been arrested and charged with helping illegal aliens evade ICE, in a shocking case that has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the US immigration system.
Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, both of Logan, Utah, were indicted on June 3, 2026, on charges of conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens, harboring illegal aliens, and obstruction of proceedings before departments and agencies. Joma is also charged with transporting illegal aliens.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Joma and Morrow were working at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court when ICE agents arrived at the court to arrest an illegal alien. The two female clerks learned that ICE was at the court and helped the illegal aliens slip through the back door to evade arrest.
The brazen actions of Joma and Morrow went even further, as they allegedly helped multiple illegal aliens escape out a backdoor of the courthouse, including ICE's intended target. They led the individuals down a secure area, several hallways, and eventually out of the courthouse without being seen by ICE.
In a stunning display of disregard for the law, Morrow and Joma were spotted on a surveillance camera waving and smiling at it, and Morrow used her middle finger in an obscene gesture at the camera, after sneaking out the back door of the courthouse with an alien.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that on the second trip, Joma drove off with three illegal aliens in her car before returning alone to the courthouse for work, in a reckless and potentially deadly attempt to evade law enforcement.
The actions of Joma and Morrow have sparked outrage and concern about the vulnerability of the US immigration system, and the willingness of some individuals to flout the law and undermine the efforts of law enforcement.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the DOJ is taking these charges very seriously, and the case is expected to draw significant attention in the coming weeks and months.
