Leftwing Biden Judge Orders the Release of 600 Chicago-Area Criminal Illegal Aliens

As Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino says, ICE and Border Patrol agents "risked their lives" to apprehend these illegal alien criminals.

A federal judge appointed by Joe Biden has ordered more than 600 illegal aliens released from custody after a sweeping immigration crackdown across Illinois -- a decision already igniting backlash as another example of the legal system bending over backward for people who broke the law to be here.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings sided with activists from the National Immigrant Justice Center and the ACLU, who argued that Immigration and Customs Enforcement overstepped during "Operation Midway Blitz," the Trump-era enforcement surge that led to more than 3,000 arrests between June and October. The sweep focused on migrants protected by Chicago's sprawling sanctuary network, which continues to shield illegal entrants despite mounting crime concerns.

Cummings' order grants bond to roughly 615 detainees. Even the activists who pushed for the ruling admit the process is chaotic and unclear. "They're all being awarded bond for 615, but how is that process going to happen?" NIJC attorney Mark Fleming said Wednesday, adding that many of those set to be released "are probably all over the country" already.

More from Breitbart's Warner Todd Huston:

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings claims he intends to provide "equitable relief" by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to release any criminal already on ankle monitors or other court-ordered monitoring programs, WLS-TV reported.

Pro-migrant activists claim that ICE and DHS are violating a so-called "Consent Decree" that limits how agents can make warrantless arrests of criminal illegal migrants.

The decree was signed in 2022 when President Joe Biden's deputies agreed to accept curbs drafted by the ACLU. Judges allow consent decrees to bind future administrations.

As you probably know, left-wing activists in the government -- of course including "community organizer" Barack Hussein Obama -- encourage "outside" left-wing groups to sue the government and then settle, granting the left-wing groups all that they desire. They do this to avoid changing the law legislatively, which they do not have the popular mandate to do.

So instead they have created this fraudulent "sue and settle" system, to effectively create laws with no legislators and no signature by the president.

There may be 3,000 total illegals this DEI Biden judge will end up releasing.

Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino: We're going to go even harder. If you release these 650, we're going to arrest 1,650 in response.

And of course the "protesters" outside the ICE facility are gearing up for some more Mostly Peaceful Violence:

Meanwhile, protesters in Portland aren't threatening violence -- yet -- but they somehow manage to be nearly as alarming.
