A federal judge has dismissed the criminal case brought by the Department of Justice against immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last year.
Abrego Garcia was deported in March of last year to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which he denies.
At the time he was deported, Abrego García was not under investigation and hadn’t been charged with any crime. It was only after he was returned to the U.S. that the DOJ filed the case against him.
The judge granted Abrego Garcia’s motion to drop the charges against him today acknowledging they were part of a vindictive effort to punish him for challenging his wrongful deportation. Continue reading “Judge Dismisses Criminal Case Against Abrego Garcia”
