Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Maryland ruled Friday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Salvadoran immigrant, could not be rearrested during a check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis came one day after she ordered his release from ICE detention in Pennsylvania, saying the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding him.
Following his release Thursday, Abrego Garcia was ordered to return for a check-in with ICE on Friday morning in Baltimore, The Hill reported. It was during a similar appointment that he was initially detained in August.
Abrego Garcia addressed supporters who gathered outside the courthouse Friday morning.
