The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released documents detailing the criminal histories of eight individuals with final orders of removal, whose deportations were reportedly halted by a Massachusetts district court judge.
The agency asserted that these individuals are “convicted murderers and rapists” and that the judicial ruling seeks to bring “barbaric criminal illegal aliens” back onto American soil.
The announcement highlighted the administration’s stance, noting that “President Trump and Secretary Noem are getting vicious criminals out of our country while activist judges are fighting to bring them back onto American soil.”

All eight individuals have been convicted in a court of law and have final orders of removal, according to DHS.
“Today, DHS released the rap sheets for eight of these uniquely monstrous, criminal illegal aliens who have final deportation orders that the U.S. government is actively trying to deport,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “The American public should know the heinous crimes of these murderers, rapists, and pedophiles that this activist district court judge is trying to bring back to American soil.”
McLaughlin further criticized the judge, stating, “As he spits in the face of victims, this Massachusetts district court judge is stalling the final removal of these barbaric individuals from the country and wants taxpayers to continue to foot the bill to keep these criminals in DHS custody overseas. It is deranged.”
DHS provided excerpts from the criminal records of the eight individuals:
