The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hammered Judge John deGravelles in the Middle District Court of Louisiana for releasing four illegal aliens from ICE custody.
The crimes? Murder and pedophilia.
“Judge John deGravelles, appointed by Barack Obama, released FOUR violent criminals back onto American communities, and unfortunately, the ramifications will only be the continued rape, murder, assault, and robbery of more American victims,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Releasing these monsters is inexcusably reckless. President Trump and Secretary Noem are now enforcing the law and arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country. We are applying the law as written. If an immigration judge finds an illegal alien has no right to be in this country, we are going to remove them. Period.”
Yes, deGravelles released these four men from ICE’s “Louisiana Lockup” at Angola Prison.
“Noncitizens, even those who have been ordered removed from the country, are protected by the constitution,” deGravelles wrote. “The Government may not execute removal proceedings in violation of due process. … Nor may it execute removals in violation of its own regulations.”
The judge released the convicts under the writ of habeas corpus.
1995! Rodriguez-Romero should have been out of the country 31 years ago!
The National Immigration Project and Rights Behind Bars claimed, get this, “that ICE violated their due process rights when the agency revoked their supervision orders, and ICE violated its own policies by arresting them without providing a reason or giving them an opportunity to argue against their detention.”
Um… they were all given final orders of removal by immigration judges. 1995, 2001, and 2002 for three of them.
