DHS released a statement on April 30, 2026, condemning the decision by U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose to release Bryan Rafael Gomez, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic who is wanted for murder there. Gomez was issued a criminal arrest warrant by the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo on January 24, 2023, for homicide. In the United States, he was arrested by the Worcester Police Department on April 4, 2026, for assault and battery. After a $500 bail, ICE took custody of him. Judge DuBose, appointed in the final days of the Biden administration, ordered his release on April 28, 2026. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis criticized the release as an attempt to undermine removal efforts.
