In a move slammed by the Department of Homeland Security as a “lawless abomination,” a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama has ordered the immediate release of four criminal illegal aliens, three convicted murderers, and a pedophile, from ICE detention at Louisiana’s Angola Prison.
U.S. District Judge John deGravelles ordered the release of the four men from the newly expanded ICE facility known as “Camp 57” or the “Louisiana Lockup” last week.
The men were being held pending removal after ICE re-detained them as part of the Trump administration’s aggressive enforcement of immigration laws.
The four illegal aliens released are:
- Ibrahim Ali Mohammed, from Ethiopia — convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor. He was released into the United States by the Biden administration and had a final order of removal issued on September 5, 2024.
- Luis Gaston-Sanchez, from Cuba — convicted of homicide, assault, resisting an officer, concealing stolen property, and two counts of robbery. Final removal order issued September 24, 2001.
- Ricardo Blanco Chomat, from Cuba — convicted of homicide, kidnapping, aggravated assault with a firearm, burglary, robbery, larceny, and selling cocaine. Final removal order issued March 27, 2002.
- Francisco Rodriguez-Romero, from Cuba — convicted of homicide and a weapons offense. Final removal order issued May 30, 1995.
Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin blasted the ruling in a press release from DHS.
“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 McLaughlin.
McLaughlin continued, “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.”
The release comes despite all four having final deportation orders.
The men had been held at the Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola) under a September partnership between DHS and the state to expand detention space specifically for criminal illegal aliens.
DHS emphasized that the agency is working “rapidly and overtime” to remove criminal illegal aliens from the country, even as activist judges continue to interfere.
The four men were released from custody shortly after the judge’s order and are now roaming American streets.
