Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an individual whose case has become a focal point in debates surrounding US immigration policies, particularly under the Trump administration. He was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March, leading to significant controversy and becoming a rallying point against the administration's hardline stance on immigration. After being brought back to the United States, he was re-detained by immigration authorities. Recently, a US District Judge, Paula Xinis, ordered his release from immigration detention, citing a lack of lawful authority for his continued detention following his return from wrongful deportation. Abrego Garcia has since been freed and returned home. The Department of Homeland Security has pledged to appeal the ruling, which they criticize as 'naked judicial activism.' He was relieved to not be arrested after a recent court hearing.
