Federal judge orders Kilmar Abrego García’s ‘immediate release’

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said the government had “misled” the court last month about his legal options and reasons for his detention.

A federal judge in Maryland on Thursday ordered the “immediate release” of Kilmar Abrego García from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, saying Justice Department attorneys “misled” the court at a hearing last month.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said she ordered officials to set him free in part to ensure that he has a fair immigration process after the Justice Department and an ICE witness last month said officers had no option but to deport him to the African nation of Liberia because Costa Rica was no longer willing to offer Abrego refuge.

The judge cited reporting by The Washington Post and ABC that found that Costa Rica had “never wavered” in its commitment to accept Abrego. Xinis was the first federal judge to order the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego’s return to the United States after immigration officers illegally deported him to a notorious prison in his native El Salvador.

“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” Xinis wrote. “For this reason, the Court will grant Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”
