A federal judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Thursday ordered Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from ICE custody, capping — for now – an extraordinary, 10-month legal fight that has spanned two continents, multiple federal courts, and prompted dozens of hearings in the aftermath of his removal.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered Abrego Garcia released from the ICE Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pa., ruling that the Trump administration had not obtained the final notice of removal order needed to remove him to a third country.
"Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority," Xinis said in an order Thursday. "For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody."
The order comes after Xinis last month used an evidentiary hearing to press the government on whether it had the final order needed to deport Abrego Garcia from the U.S. to a third country, including the list of African nations previously identified by Trump officials.
Justice Department lawyer Drew Ensign previously suggested that the immigration judge who ruled in 2019 that Abrego Garcia could not be removed back to his home country of El Salvador had "meant," or implied a final order of removal — a notion Xinis dismissed in her ruling Thursday.
"No such order of removal exists for Abrego Garcia," she said.
The Justice Department is almost certain to appeal her order to a higher court, as Ensign indicated to her in previous hearings.

Just announce he is being released after he gave the feds all the info that he had on the cartels. Also, announce where he is being released and when.

My head no work today.
Just tired of the stupid game.
These judges should be shamed off the edge of the earth.
We need some kind of judicial reform where judges bear more consequences for bad decisions...especially politically motivated decisions.
