"A federal court in Maryland has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE custody on Thursday, and he will be advised on his release conditions in his separate Tennessee criminal case. The case of Abrego, a Salvadorian national who was a construction worker in Maryland, has become a proxy for the partisan struggle over Donald Trump's sweeping immigration policy and mass deportation agenda."
"Trump administration officials have waged a relentless public relations campaign against Abrego, repeatedly referring to him as a member of the MS-13 gang, among other things, despite the fact he has not been convicted of any crimes. His attorneys have denounced the criminal charges. Abrego has said that, while imprisoned in El Salvador, he suffered beatings, sleep deprivation and psychological torture."
