A Dominican national wanted for murder in his home country was ordered released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody by a federal judge in Rhode Island on Tuesday.

Bryan Rafael Gomez, who is subject to an Interpol Red Notice for murder charges in the Dominican Republic, was released from detention following an order by U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the release.

Interpol Red Notices are international alerts issued to seek the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action. They are typically issued for serious crimes including murder.

The case highlights ongoing tensions between immigration enforcement and federal court oversight of detention decisions. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been holding Gomez in custody, but the federal judge determined he should be released.

Details about the specific circumstances of the murder charges in the Dominican Republic or the reasoning behind the judge's release order were not immediately available. The case occurred amid broader national debates over immigration enforcement policies and judicial oversight of detention practices.
