A federal judge has just ordered the release of MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE custody.
The judge is an Obama appointee.
Here’s more from Newsmax:
A U.S. judge on Thursday ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose wrongful deportation became a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, released from immigration detention as he awaits a potential second deportation.
The order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis means that Abrego Garcia will at least temporarily be allowed to return to his Maryland home despite repeated declarations from Trump administration officials that he would never again be free in the U.S.
Abrego Garcia, 30, has been held in immigration detention since August, when immigration authorities arrested him shortly after being released from custody in his criminal case.
Xinis found that he was entitled to release in part because an immigration judge had not issued a formal deportation order in 2019, when he was barred from being deported to El Salvador because of a risk of gang persecution.
I have a feeling this ruling will be appealed, because there’s no way ICE wants Garcia roaming the streets in this country.
