Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from immigration detention

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was released from immigration detention after a federal judge ordered his release, citing wrongful detention without lawful authority. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis emphasized that the absence of a removal order prevents his deportation. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran native previously deported despite a court order protecting him from such action, has faced multiple detentions since returning to the U.S. His attorney described the ruling as a significant victory for due process.
