Dominican migrant with deportation order, wanted for murder in home country freed by Biden-appointed judge
A Dominican migrant, Bryan Rafael Gomez, who has a deportation order and is subject to an Interpol Red Notice for homicide in his home country, was released from ICE custody by U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose in Rhode Island. The judge ruled that Gomez was being held under unlawful detention because the statute used by ICE did not apply to individuals arrested within the U.S., entitling him to a bond hearing.
