Immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose wrongful deportation sparked controversy during the Trump administration, was released from detention after a federal judge ruled in his favor. The judge criticized the governments attempts to deport him without legal basis, and Abrego Garcia plans to return to his family in Maryland. Despite the victory, the Department of Homeland Security vows to appeal, and Abrego Garcia faces separate criminal charges for human smuggling. The judges order also exposed misleading information about attempts to deport him to African countries and Costa Rica.
