A Biden-appointed federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the release of a Dominican illegal alien who is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for murder in his home country.
The criminal illegal alien, Bryan Rafael Gomez, was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, Massachusetts on April 4th.
He had just been picked up locally for domestic abuse when a background check revealed Dominican authorities issued a criminal arrest warrant against him for homicide in 2023.
He is also the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant for murder.
Gomez was detained at an ICE facility in Rhode Island. An immigration judge issued a deportation order on April 28th. But on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose, a Biden appointee confirmed in 2024 as the first Black and openly LGBTQ federal judge in Rhode Island, ordered him released on the grounds of “continuous unlawful detention.”
ICE argued Gomez was subject to mandatory detention because of the international homicide warrant. The judge ignored that and set the wanted murderer free.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin broke the bombshell on X Tuesday:
“I’m told by federal sources that a Dominican illegal alien with a deportation order & an Interpol Red Notice arrest warrant for murder in his home country was ordered released from ICE custody on Tuesday by Rhode Island federal judge Melissa DuBose (Biden appointee).
I’m told that international fugitive Bryan Rafael Gomez was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, MA on April 4th, and had been detained in a facility in Rhode Island where he was issued a deportation order on April 28th by an immigration judge.
On Tuesday, I’m told Judge DuBose ordered Gomez be released from ICE custody on the grounds of “continuous unlawful detention”, while ICE argued that Gomez was subject to mandatory detention due to having an international arrest warrant for homicide.
I’m told Gomez was released, is now roaming freely again, and ICE can’t rearrest him due to Judge DuBose’s order. He was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2022.”
Let that sink in.
This illegal alien, wanted for murder abroad, was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2022. ICE finally tracked him down in Massachusetts this month, got a deportation order… and a Biden judge set him loose on the streets of America.
ICE cannot rearrest him. Thanks to Judge DuBose’s ruling, this fugitive is now free to walk among us.
More from DOJ:
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the following statement after an activist judge appointed by Joe Biden released a violent criminal illegal alien who is wanted for murder in the Dominican Republic.
On January 24, 2023, the Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued a criminal arrest warrant for Bryan Rafael Gomez for homicide.
On April 4, 2026, the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, for assault and battery. The detainer was honored, and after he was released on $500 bail, ICE arrested Gomez.
On April 28, 2026, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose–who was appointed in the final days of the Biden administration–ordered Gomez’s release.
“Bryan Rafael Gomez is a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with an international warrant for homicide,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “An activist judge appointed by Joe Biden released this wanted murderer back into American communities. This is yet another example of an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS will continue to fight for the removal of criminal illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country.”
Gomez entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol near Lukeville, Arizona. He was then released by the Biden administration.
The judge should have to house the criminal in his spare bedroom.
Hasn’t the supreme court already ruled on this?
Musta thought he was free here.
Her.............
Judges will TDS are getting people killed.
Take that, Whitey!
“The judge should have to house the criminal in his spare bedroom.”
That’s too kind. They should be sharing the same prison cell.
“The judge should have to house the criminal in his spare bedroom.”
That’s too kind. They should be sharing the same unisex prison cell, bars in the middle of course.
He needs to visit this judge’s residence at 2AM just to say thanks.
"U.S. District Court judge Melissa R. DuBose is the first woman of color and first LGBTQ+ person to be seated in the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island."
So is she lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or + something else?
All of the above...............
“Are you still a Marxist?” Sen. John Kennedy asked state District Judge Melissa R. DuBose at the hearing on her nomination to U.S. District Court.
Why would this Judge’s order be superior to the Immigration Judges deportation order? The administration needs to start saying “NO” to these rogue judges as I also thought the SC ruled on this subject.
Five easy words : Go to hell, your honor.
These judges are trying to get us all killed, hah?
