The American justice system operates on a straightforward promise: break the law, face consequences. Protect the innocent from the guilty. It’s not complicated. For generations, this basic covenant between citizens and their government kept our communities safe and our society functioning.
But something has gone badly wrong.
Activist judges—many installed during previous administrations—have decided they know better than federal law enforcement. Better than Congress. Better than the American people, who voted for secure borders.
These aren’t impartial arbiters interpreting statutes. They’re ideologues in black robes, and their decisions are putting convicted criminals back on our streets. The results are exactly as horrifying as you’d expect.
From The Post Millennial:
“The ramifications will only be the continued rape, murder, assault, and robbery of more American victims,” said Assistant DHS 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.”
Convicted Killers and Child Predators Walk Free
Those stark words from the Department of Homeland Security weren’t abstract warnings. They were a direct response to Judge John deGravelles, an Obama-appointed federal judge sitting in Louisiana’s Middle District Court. On February 6, deGravelles signed orders releasing four illegal immigrants from ICE custody.
The criminal records of these individuals should disqualify them from breathing free American air ever again.
Let’s start with Ibrahim Ali Mohammed, an Ethiopian national. His crime? Sexually exploiting a minor. He received a final removal order in September 2024. The Biden administration released him anyway. Now, courtesy of Judge deGravelles, he’s back on the streets. Somewhere in America, a child predator is free because one judge decided immigration enforcement wasn’t his priority.
The other three share a common thread: homicide convictions. Luis Gaston-Sanchez, a Cuban national, killed someone. He also has convictions for resisting arrest and concealing stolen property. His deportation order? September 2001. That’s not a typo. Over two decades, this murderer remained in America.
Ricardo Blanco Chomat makes Gaston-Sanchez look like a minor offender. Also Cuban, Chomat’s resume includes homicide, kidnapping, aggravated assault with a firearm, robbery, burglary, selling cocaine, and larceny. His deportation order dates to March 2002. Twenty-three years of ignored paperwork.
Then there’s Francisco Rodriguez-Romero. Homicide. Weapons charges. Deportation order signed May 30, 1995. Nearly thirty years ago, our government said this man had to leave. He’s still here. And now he’s free.
Three decades of deportation orders. Made worthless by one judge’s pen.
A Dangerous Pattern Sweeping the Nation
If you’re thinking Louisiana is an outlier, I have bad news. This rot runs deep.
New York alone has released nearly 7,000 criminal illegal aliens without notifying ICE since President Trump took office in January. Their collective rap sheets read like a horror novel: 29 homicides, thousands of assaults, hundreds of burglaries, robberies, drug offenses, weapons violations, and sexual predatory crimes.
It gets worse. Right now, more than 7,100 illegal aliens sit in New York jails and prisons with active ICE detainers on file. Together, they’re responsible for 148 homicides, 717 assaults, and 260 sexual predatory offenses. Federal agents want them. Sanctuary laws say no.
This is the system liberal judges and sanctuary politicians have built. Catch, release, repeat. American safety is their last priority.
Time for Real Judges Who Respect the Law
The Trump administration isn’t mincing words. “We are applying the law as written,” Assistant Secretary McLaughlin stated plainly. “If an immigration judge finds an illegal alien has no right to be in this country, we are going to remove them. Period.”
Judges like deGravelles have forgotten their job description. They’re supposed to interpret law, not manufacture outcomes that match their political preferences. When a judge releases convicted murderers and child predators—people with decades-old deportation orders—that’s not jurisprudence. That’s sabotage.
These aren’t real judges. They’re political operatives collecting government salaries while endangering American citizens. And it needs to stop.
Impeach them where applicable. Investigate their decisions. Replace them with judges who understand a simple concept: the law means what it says. American communities deserve jurists who prioritize their safety over ideological posturing.
Key Takeaways
- An Obama-appointed Louisiana judge released four illegal immigrants convicted of murder and child sex crimes from ICE custody.
- Some of these criminals had deportation orders dating back nearly 30 years that were never enforced.
- New York has released nearly 7,000 criminal illegal aliens since January, revealing a nationwide pattern of judicial obstruction.
- Americans must demand accountability and the replacement of activist judges who prioritize ideology over public safety.
