Kilmar Abrego Garcia will not be detained by immigration authorities after a federal judge, Judge Xinis, granted a temporary restraining order preventing his re-arrest during a scheduled check-in.

Judge Xinis emphasized that the government’s actions contradicted the intended purpose of his detention, as alternative removal options were available.
