LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A battle is underway about the release of a convicted murderer with ties to the MS-13 gang who previously entered the United States illegally. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Boulware II ordered the release of Harvey Laureano Rosales, 54, by Jan. 22.
In his Jan. 21 order, Boulware said the federal government violated Rosales’ due process rights in multiple ways, and noted he acknowledges Rosales’ criminal history, “while also acknowledging that he has served a lengthy sentence and been paroled for these crimes.”
...
Rosales is a citizen and national of El Salvador who entered the U.S. illegally at the age of 16 in 1987, became a member of MS-13, and spent more than half of his life incarcerated in the U.S., according to Boulware’s order.
Rosales was convicted of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, use of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by an ex-felon, all deemed gang-related, in 1997. He received multiple life sentences, spent more than 25 years in prison, where he joined the Mexican Mafia prison gang, and was granted parole in November 2022, court documents show. Immigration authorities civilly detained Rosales by April 2023, according to court documents.
...
Rosales was ordered removed to El Salvador after being paroled. He was then taken into ICE custody and has been detained for two and a half years, Boulware wrote.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada announced it will seek legal action on Friday after Boulware’s court order.
“We are deeply troubled by the risks posed to the public and will continue to pursue all lawful avenues to address those concerns and safeguard the community,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah said.
In his Jan. 21 order, Boulware ordered Rosales’ immediate release and prohibited the federal government from removing him, “to Mexico, or any other third country, until he has received due process in the form of a full adjudication of his fear-based claims before an immigration judge and any subsequent appeals.”

Who is it that validated the nomination of this “judge” of the application of The law?
It has removed any faith I once stupidy had in our system.
If released he should then be taken into ICE custody and deported.
Why didn’t they deport?
I still don’t understand why these people aren’t released outside the judge’s house.
He’s been in ICE custody for two years.
Sounds like Boulware Number 2 is out looking for a latino lover.
Of course, Obama judge.
The judge has conspired to impede federal law enforcement. The judge must be arrested and placed in detention
I do not understand this judge’s thinking whatsoever. He’s worried about this guy’s fear-based claims? What about the fear this murderer will cause in our society?
I realize I’m painting with a broad brush, but the judiciary in this country is comprised of slime balls.
Judges are best-in-class winners in the legal profession, and yet they suck.
Old Billy was surely right.
Arrest the judge for endangering the public.
Seriously. Enough. What about my rights to not have a threat to society on the streets, especially an illegal alien serial criminal gang member.
I do not want my wife, my children,nor my grandchildren endangered by having this criminal illegal scum roaming about the country with no legal entitlement to even be here.
Lock up the judge and throw this illegal alien scum out of the country.
We voted to be protected from these violent illegal aliens and in fact all illegals with no right to be here. Out of the country now.
They are attempting to control the governance from the bench
Can a dead judge issue a ruling?
The dead guy violated the Federal officer’s civil rights
Time to start locking up crazy judges.
They are a danger to society.
> Why didn’t they deport?<
Dollars to donuts he is contesting his deportation back to his home country of El Salvador and CECOT. He is trying to be another “Maryland dad”.

Activist judges need to feel consequences for their abuse of the law. Removal by any means necessary.
