Bring these heroes home and fast!
In a stunning display of judicial overreach, three U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been left stranded in Djibouti—facing deadly rocket threats, toxic conditions, and no medical protection—after a federal judge, appointed under President Joe Biden, halted the deportation of eight violent illegal immigrants.
These migrants, all convicted of heinous crimes including murder, rape of minors, arson, and armed robbery, are now living in a metal shipping container on a U.S. military base. The agents assigned to guard them are enduring third-world conditions, risking their health and safety every day—all thanks to an activist ruling from a federal bench.
❗ Convicted Criminals Protected—Federal Officers Abandoned
The illegal immigrants—hailing from countries including Cuba, Myanmar, Vietnam, Mexico, and Laos—were scheduled for deportation due to serious criminal convictions, yet they remain in U.S. custody after Judge Brian Murphy stopped the flight on May 22.
Murphy, a Biden appointee, claimed the Trump administration had “violated procedure” in trying to remove the migrants—even though all of them had either exhausted their appeals or failed to challenge their deportation orders.
ICE officers were forced to land the plane in East Africa, in Djibouti’s Camp Lemonnier, a base that Pentagon officials have warned is at risk from Houthi rocket attacks launched from Yemen. On top of the terrorist threat, the officers were denied anti-malaria medication, only receiving it two days after arrival—by which time several had already fallen ill.
🔥 Who Are These Criminal Migrants?
These are not low-level offenders. These are some of the worst of the worst:
- Enrique Arias Hierro (Cuba) – Attempted murder, kidnapping, robbery
- Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones (Cuba) – Arson, drug trafficking, attempted murder
- Thongxay Nilakout (Laos) – First-degree murder of a tourist
- Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez (Mexico) – Stabbed roommate to death
- Kyaw Mya (Myanmar) – Repeatedly raped a child from age 7
- Nyo Myint (Myanmar) – Assaulted a disabled victim
- Tuan Thanh Phan (Vietnam) – Random shooting in gang fight, killed a bystander
- Dian Peter Domach (South Sudan) – Armed robbery
All were scheduled for final removal—until the Biden administration’s appointee intervened.
🇺🇸 Trump Administration Fights Back
The Trump administration isn’t standing down. Former Missouri Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, demanding the judge’s decision be overturned immediately.
“This case highlights the inability to remove some of the most dangerous criminal aliens due to activist legal roadblocks,” Sauer stated.
🚨 Biden’s Border Crisis Reaches New Levels of Chaos
This latest fiasco comes as America faces record-breaking illegal immigration under the Biden administration. Federal officers are being stretched thin, forced to babysit dangerous felons abroad while American families suffer the consequences of open-border policies at home.
Not only does this situation waste taxpayer money, it endangers the lives of law enforcement officers who are sworn to uphold our laws—now abandoned by a system that prioritizes the rights of criminals over the safety of Americans.
BOTTOM LINE: This case isn’t just about eight criminal migrants. It’s about a justice system hijacked by radical policies. It’s about the dismantling of law and order under President Biden, and the urgent need to restore strong, America-first leadership.
