A U.S. district judge’s order mandating a reduction of the detainee population at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility in Adelanto, California, has led to the release of more than 250 “dangerous criminal aliens into various communities,” the agency announced on Oct. 27.

Despite requests to transfer detainees to alternative sites, “ICE has complied with this overreaching court order; however, the public should know that the ruling undoubtedly places them at greater risk,” Tony H. Pham, ICE’s senior official performing the duties of the director, said in a statement.
