Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation to El Salvador has become a rallying point against Trump's hardline policies.

The judge overseeing the case said Garcia was held at a notorious El Salvador prison without "lawful authority."

The judge rules Abrego Garcia was "without lawful authority", and will now at least temporarily be allowed to return to his Maryland home.

Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation to El Salvador has become a rallying point against Trump's hardline policies.

A federal judge ordered Thursday the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wrongfully deported Salvadoran now facing U.S. charges.

Attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said he’s not sure what comes next, but he’s prepared to defend his client against further deportation efforts.

The Department of Homeland Security has pledged to appeal the latest ruling, slamming it as 'naked judicial activism'.
