A federal judge said DHS's press release falsely accusing her of releasing an ICE detainee with an international murder warrant endangered judicial security and misrepresented facts. DOJ apologized for the claim, which ICE officials reportedly urged Bolan not to disclose, and the judge is weighing whether DHS or DOJ should be held in contempt as interagency tensions over immigration enforcement continue.
