A US judge has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The decision was made in a federal court in Texas on Friday, following a petition filed on behalf of Garcia, who had been detained by ICE since March.
Garcia’s lawyers argued that his continued detention was unjust, as he had strong ties to the community, a stable job, and no criminal record. They claimed that his detention did not align with the guidelines laid out by ICE itself.
In response, ICE asserted that Garcia was in the country illegally after overstaying his visa. They contended that his detention was in line with their enforcement priorities and the immigration laws of the United States.
The judge ultimately ruled in favor of Garcia, ordering his release from ICE custody. The exact conditions of his release were not immediately clear.
This case underscores the ongoing debate surrounding immigration enforcement in the United States and the treatment of individuals in ICE custody. It also highlights the role of the judiciary in reviewing and potentially overturning ICE decisions.
Overall, the judge’s decision to release Garcia represents a significant development in his case and is likely to have broader implications for immigration enforcement moving forward.
