Immigration Judge Put on Leave Over Alleged 'Tarzan' Quip to African Woman Seeking Asylum
-snip-

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.

During the court session, Ragno also listed to a weather forecast on his speaker phone and discussed his search for a new condominium, Crosby said.

Ragno, an immigration judge for more than 30 years, did not return a call seeking comment. Court Administrator Robert Halpin declined to comment.
