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.
