Paula Xinis Blocks Trump Administration From Re-Detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Federal Judge Paula Xinis blocked the administration of Donald Trump from re-detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia after a mandatory 90-day detention period expired.The ruling stated that DHS failed to establish a viable deportation plan while ignoring a refugee offer from Costa Rica in favor of improbable African transfers.Kilmar Abrego Garcia was previously returned to the USA following an erroneous deportation to El Salvador but now faces human smuggling charges in Tennessee.Defense attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg argued that custody must only facilitate removal rather than serve as a form of indefinite punishment.
