A federal judge on Thursday ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be immediately released from immigration custody.
Since Abrego Garcias return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland wrote in her opinion explaining her order.
As before, Abrego Garcias case demands judicial intervention to ensure that government officials choose constitutionally permissible means of implementing immigration law, she wrote. Because Abrego Garcia has been held in ICE detention to effectuate third-country removal absent a lawful removal order, his requested relief is proper, she wrote.
The government illegally sent Abrego to El Salvador in March, then said it would never bring him back him to the U.S., and then returned him to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented immigrants illegally. Abrego has pleaded not guilty to the charges and argued they should be thrown out on the grounds that theyre unconstitutionally vindictive. ,,,
In her ruling Thursday, Xinis said the government didnt have a lawful order to remove him to a third country, so it cant justify his continued detention. She wrote that while government officials may eventually get it right, they have not as of today.
