DHS SECRETARY NOEM SLAMS JUDGE OVER ABREGO RELEASE, VOWS ICE DEPORTATION

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem publicly blasted a federal judge for ordering the conditional release of Kilmar Ábrego García and vowed ICE will move to deport him. The judge required Ábrego to report to ICE’s Baltimore field office and imposed conditions, while his attorneys argue he was previously unlawfully deported and seek due‑process protections. DHS officials and prior reporting cite allegations of gang ties and domestic abuse, which the defense disputes. The clash highlights escalating tension between immigration enforcement leadership and the courts over detention and removal decisions.
