This resolution proposes the impeachment of Senior District Judge John Edwin Steele for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The core of the accusation stems from his July 8, 2026, order in the case of Miakel Guerra Morales v. Field Office Director, Miami, et al. , where he granted a petition for habeas corpus and ordered the release of Miakel Guerra Morales from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. Guerra Morales is a Cuban national previously convicted of aircraft piracy and conspiracy to interfere with a flight crew, having served 21 years in prison before being placed in removal proceedings. The resolution asserts that Judge Steele's decision constituted an abuse of judicial discretion and dereliction of duty , endangering public safety. It claims he disregarded the executive branch's concerns regarding the presumptively reasonable detention period and federal regulations for detaining dangerous aliens. Furthermore, by ordering the immediate release, Judge Steele allegedly denied the executive branch an opportunity for appellate review, thereby prioritizing the interests of a criminal alien over national security and public safety considerations.
