  Romero had placed Lambert under house arrest, but in court today said defense attorney Kari Morrissey instead filed paperwork for Lambert to be released on his own recognizance....that's it's the judge called him back into court...

  "You asked what this hearing is about today," Romero told Morrissey.
  ...
  "It is not in the transcript," Romero said.
  
  However Romero acknowledged signing the order which he then rescinded.

  Judge Ernesto Romero makes a father into a federal criminal Judge Ernesto Romero makes father into a federal criminal | Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White
  ...
  The domestic relations case was handled by Judge Ernesto Romero.Years after the false domestic violence claim and dismissed charges, the parties attended a hearing before Judge Romero.The case was recessed; the hearing was over.However, Judge Romero changed his mind and somehow resumed the hearing.Father was not present.Judge Romero, having a penchant for jailing parents for all kinds of ridiculous reasons (see this link for another jailing story involving this judge), issued a bench warrant for father's arrest for "failing to appear" at a hearing. Father lost his job (as many parents going through this system do) and had to move to another state to secure employment.Over the next year some things happened that were very hard to understand.It took years and many letters and telephone calls for father to finally obtain the records we are exposing herein.In the end, he had to obtain most of the records from other states because the New Mexico Courts and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department refused to timely comply with his many requests.In the meantime, he was no longer eligible for a government security clearance because of the outrageous actions taken by Judge Ernesto Romero and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department. Father was pulled over a few times for what should have been routine traffic stops in various states, but the stops ended up being anything but routine.Law enforcement teams were called and father found himself surrounded by drawn weapons.Finally, he was involved in a disturbance on October 12, 2005 because of his frustration in attempting to accomplish a business transaction.He was arrested and taken in by a local police department.Because of this experience, he was able to begin obtaining records to find out what was happening.Records provided to him by a far northeastern state show communication between them and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department regarding whether he should be extradited to Bernalillo County from the northeastern state to face felony charges.Again, father did not know about any of this at the time he was taken to jail, but he realized there was a problem because he was held overnight, missing a major customer meeting out of town and seriously impacting his employment.Note that the records state "Fel[ony] warrant signed by Judicial District C[ou]rt J[u]dg[e] Romero 20050602 / Ch[ar]g[e] is failure to appear at the time and place ordered by this C[ou]rt / hold no bond" The reason for being held overnight became clear after obtaining the records from various federal and state sources over a period of two years.The out of state jurisdiction was consulting with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department to determine whether father should be extradited to New Mexico.Records from October 13, 2005, the next day, show Bernalillo County's response to the out-of-state jurisdiction: "After further review, the Assistant District Attorney on the case declined to extradite from your jurisdiction."It is nice to know that, at least in this case, the District Attorney's office did not continue to play the abuse of power game started by Judge Ernesto Romero. Little by little the picture came into focus.Father finally received (after years of written requests) from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department on January 18, 2007 a letter with a timeline of events that occurred, stating that the warrant Judge Ernesto Romero issued for father's arrest had a "no bond hold".

  Judge Ernesto Romero participates in ex parte communication prior to a hearing, throws mother in prison based on hearsay during hearing for Motion to Compel Discovery, and leaves children with no one to pick them up from caretaker.
  
  It was simply a hearing for a Motion to Compel.A new Guardian ad Litem (GAL) had been assigned to the case about a month prior to the hearing.An hour prior to the hearing, at 2:00 p.m., Judge Ernesto Romero met privately with the GAL, James Owens in his chambers download log showing Owens' appearance an hour before the hearing as pdf and during that meeting called a law enforcement officer to attend the hearing.
  ...
  Based on the GAL's hearsay alone, Judge Romero sentenced the mother to jail.Download hearing transcript as pdf She was told to remove her jewelry, handcuffed, and hauled off to the Bernalillo County West Side Detention center and locked up for a number of hours.When sentenced, this mother, a professional woman who was dressed in a pink suit and heels for the hearing in court, apparently went into shock and fainted.She was put into a chair for a brief period of time and then hauled off to jail.No medical attention was provided.Her two elementary-school-aged children were supposed to be picked up from their caretaker shortly after the hearing.Because of her condition, she could not properly communicate to CFJ supporters present at her hearing where and how to contact the caretaker to pick up the children.They remained at the caretaker's home for hours after the hearing, causing distress and alarm for the mother, children, and caretaker alike.Judge Romero wrote an official order from the hearing, but after the mother contacted the media regarding this story and they called the judge for information, he subsequently modified and reissued his order without proper documentation
