Kilmar Abrego Garcia\u2019s name has come to symbolize an immigration system that no longer understands its own decisions. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has ordered that the Salvadoran national be released from ICE custody immediately. \u201cRespondents shall release Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately,\u201d the two-page order from the federal court in the District of Maryland states. A single sentence that carries the weight of an entire case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was flown to El Salvador in March along with hundreds of other people, labeled as alleged members of MS-13 and the Venezuelan group Tren de Aragua. We were able to disprove the claim that he, as Trump alleged, had MS-13 tattoos on his hands. In fact, it was proven that the images Trump presented were falsifications. See our article: \u201cThe fist, the photo, and the lie \u2013 How Trump replaces the law with a misleading image\u201d \u2013 at the link: https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/die-faust-das-foto-und-die-luege-wie-trump-das-recht-mit-einem-irrefuehrenden-bild-ersetzt\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his case stood out: He had lived in Maryland for more than ten years, worked as a sheet metal worker, held a valid work permit, and was protected by a court order barring deportation. Yet he was placed on a flight to a country where he had never committed a crime. ICE blamed a \u201cclerical error\u201d. The Trump administration claimed he was part of a gang structure. Abrego Garcia denies this. The accusations were nothing short of grotesque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
