Judge orders release of Salvadoran wrongly held by ICE

  • Salvadoran man Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongly deported in March, has been released from US immigration custody.
  • A federal judge ordered his release, stating his detention was "absent a lawful removal order."
  • Abrego Garcia's case has become a focal point in the debate over the Trump administration's migrant crackdown.
  • The Trump administration accused him of being an MS-13 gang member and human smuggler, which he denies.
  • DHS criticized the judge's ruling as "judicial activism," vowing to fight it.

Why It Matters: This case demonstrates judicial limits on government immigration actions.
