US judge orders release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE custody

What happened: A US judge ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was held without lawful authority and ordered his release, allowing him to return to his home in Maryland at least temporarily.

Why it matters:

  • Highlights legal limits on immigration detention authority
  • Impacts Garcia and others held in similar circumstances by ICE

MNN Take: The ruling emphasises the importance of lawful procedures in immigration enforcement and may influence future cases involving detention legality.
