The New Republic: How ICE Withheld Info From a Federal Judge—and Then Smeared Her for It
Harry Litman for The New Republic (How ICE Withheld Info From a Federal Judge—and Then Smeared Her for It ICE issued a press release accusing the jurist of freeing a murderer. Problem: ICE had withheld that very information from her.) reports on an amazing story:
"Last week, the Department of Homeland Security posted a press release on its official website with a large, bold headline: Activist Biden Judge Releases Violent Criminal Illegal Alien Wanted for Murder.” The release named the federal judge, Melissa DuBose, and went on to accuse her of knowingly freeing a murder suspect because she was an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities.'
There was one problem. The judge had no idea about the murder case. That’s because the Justice Department lawyer had failed to include that detail in arguing against release. And that in turn happened because ICE had instructed the DOJ lawyer to withhold it from her."
