A federal judge criticized the Trump administration for the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, labeling it 'wholly lawless'. Judge Paula Xinis demanded his return, citing insufficient evidence of gang affiliation and an administrative error in his deportation. Abrego Garcia, who has lived in the US since 2011 and faces threats from gangs in El Salvador, was wrongfully detained based on vague allegations. The judge emphasized that he should not have been deported due to a prior immigration order protecting him from persecution.
