W. Steube

Miakel Guerra Morales was released from ICE custody, due to his illegal immigrant status, following an order from Judge John Steele on July 8. Congressman Greg Steube brought a motion against at the House accusing him of "high crimes and misdemeanors."

The motion by Rep. Steube related to the plane hijacking incident. He called the order for the release of the Cuban as a "judicial overreach."

"This is exactly the kind of activist judicial overreach the American people are sick of," Rep. Steube said. "Judge Steele had every legal justification to keep a convicted plane hijacker off our streets, and he chose to let him go instead."

Both the clerk and a "legal source" in Miami confirmed the sudden death of Judge Steele. However, the circumstances and his cause of death was not immediately clear.
