Texas judge suspended when it's learned she's not US citizen
By The Associated Press CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — May 17, 2017, 6:19 PM ET
Officials in South Texas have placed a municipal court judge on unpaid leave after it was discovered she's not a U.S. citizen.
Corpus Christi Mayor Pro-Tem Lucy Rubio told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times that Judge Young Min Burkett was placed on leave for 90 days with the intention that will be enough time for her to obtain citizenship.
Rubio says the city never asked during the qualification process to become a municipal judge whether Burkett was a citizen, and says Burkett never tried to deceive or misrepresent her background.
Rubio adds that city attorneys have reviewed the matter and determined that Burkett's rulings from the bench remain valid and lawful.
The Caller-Times reports that Burkett did not return phone calls seeking comment. Her nationality is not clear.

Unnamed sources in Texas, indicate this event took place in ultra conservative Texas, and therefore democrats are calling for a special prosecutor to investigate President Trump.
The investigation is essential since no evidence of any wrongdoing by the President has yet been found, but he did carry the great Republic of Texas.

From the article:
"Her nationality is not clear."
"Judge
Young Min
Burkett"?
Sounds Korean to me.
