U.S. Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino threatened to retaliate after a federal judge suggested as many as 600 detainees could be released due to violations of a consent decree requiring warrants for arrests.

In an order issued on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings said that the Department of Justice must release 13 detainees who were caught during the "Operation Midway Blitz" enforcement operation in Chicago. The judge also ordered the review of 600 others.

"Those illegal aliens came from a myriad of situations, whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans," Bovino told Fox News on Thursday. "And I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what's going to happen is, we're going to go even harder on the streets."
