The comments came shortly after U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, serving in the District of Maryland, ordered the Trump administration to release Garcia. In her ruling, Xinis stated that Garcia was being “held in ICE detention to effectuate third-country removal absent a lawful removal order.”
Bovino strongly criticized the ruling during the broadcast, arguing that judicial decisions are hindering law enforcement efforts to keep dangerous individuals off American streets.

He continued, characterizing the court’s decision as judicial overreach. “It’s too bad that we have these activist judges that legislate from the bench and put MS-13 gang members back out on the streets to harm Americans.”
Complex Legal and Criminal History
Garcia’s case has become a flashpoint in the ongoing national debate over immigration enforcement and judicial oversight. He is currently under indictment in Tennessee on human trafficking charges.
His legal history includes a previous deportation to El Salvador, where he was incarcerated in a high-security prison designated for MS-13 members.

In April, the Trump administration released a 13-page dossier outlining the evidence against Garcia, which included findings from immigration judges affirming his membership in MS-13. The gang has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the current administration.

Bovino emphasized that the agency’s goal remains “taking individuals like this… out of circulation and putting them back where they need to be, and that’s in their country of record.”
