Another day, another far-left activist judge.
US District Judge Susan Nelson, an Obama appointee, ordered the release of a four-time deported MS-13 gang member from El Salvador with a history of rape.
In January, ICE arrested Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel during a raid in Minnesota.
“Today in Minnesota, ICE arrested Carlos Flores Miguel — a four-time-deported criminal, illegal alien, convicted sex offender, and assailant of federal law enforcement,” ICE said in January.
You wouldn’t want this MS-13 gang member from El Salvador as your neighbor.

Judge Nelson ordered ICE to release Carlos Flores-Miguel, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported:
A federal judge has ordered federal immigration authorities to release an illegal immigrant gang member with multiple unlawful entries into the United States and whose criminal history includes rape and robbery, Fox News Digital has learned.
Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, an Obama appointee, ordered the release of Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel, an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
“This activist, Obama-appointed judge RELEASED Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador and MS-13 gang member, from ICE Custody,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Releasing violent criminals is inexcusably reckless and now this criminal will be able to perpetrate more crimes against innocent Americans.”
Flores-Miguel was released into the United States under the Biden administration in 2022, DHS said.
On Jan. 20, he was arrested by ICE in Minneapolis, when he violently resisted by punching and kicking ICE law enforcement officers, authorities said. In addition, he allegedly grabbed an ICE officer’s gun holster.
A separate Obama-appointed judge ordered the release of MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Judge Paula Xinis recently ordered ICE to release Abrego Garcia from custody.
