"Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador in March before being brought back to the US in June to face human smuggling charges, will now be permitted at least temporarily to return to his Maryland home. US District Judge Paula Xinis, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, said the Trump administration has "no lawful basis to detain and remove" Abrego and that "his continued detention must end.""
"Andrew Rossman, a lawyer for Abrego, said the decision was a "victory not just for one Maryland man but for everyone" and thanked the court for "upholding due process and the rule of law." Abrego's case has become a symbol of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown, as his legal battles highlight the new deportation policies the administration has sought to use."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March and was brought back to the United States in June to face human smuggling charges. US District Judge Paula Xinis ruled the Trump administration had no lawful basis to detain or remove Abrego and ordered that his continued detention must end. Abrego will be permitted, at least temporarily, to return to his Maryland home. The administration has repeatedly claimed Abrego is a member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, while his family and attorneys deny any gang connection. A White House spokeswoman said the administration would appeal and accused Judge Xinis of activism. The case has highlighted aggressive immigration enforcement and new deportation policies.
