This is too much... if this is what the Judge in question said, he should be sent packing permanently. Of course, he's entitled to an investigation -let's hope there is a tape or other record of the proceeding:

An immigration judge was placed on administrative leave Monday after complaints that he made jokes about Tarzan to a woman who had been raped and tortured in her native Uganda.

The woman, whose first name is Jane, went before Judge Thomas Ragno in June, seeking political asylum in the United States because her husband was killed and she was beaten, raped and tortured in her homeland.

"Jane, come here. Me Tarzan!" Ragno said, according to the woman's physician, Dr. Sondra Crosby, who attended the June 20 deportation hearing to testify about the woman's injuries.

"It was disrespectful and insulting, and in my mind it was racist to have a white judge making Tarzan comments to a black woman," Crosby said.

Dr. Crosby filed a complaint about the judge and he was put on administrative leave. She says while she was in the courtroom,

...Ragno also listed to a weather forecast on his speaker phone and discussed his search for a new condominium.

Ragno has been a judge for 30 years. Maybe it's time for judicial term limits. Seems like there's some burnout going on.

Update: Thanks to the e-mailer who let us know we forgot the link, and sent in this similar article with more details about this judge's behavior in other cases. We've now inserted the link to the article we quoted in the post.
