Judge rules Kilmar Abrego Garcia can't be re-detained by immigration authorities

A federal judge has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot re-detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia as the 90-day detention period has expired and the government lacks a viable deportation plan, marking a significant legal victory for the individual in what appears to be an ongoing immigration case. The decision comes as part of a growing legal debate over immigration detention policies and the rights of non-citizens in the United States. According to court documents, Abrego Garcia had been previously detained by immigration authorities, but after the standard 90-day detention period concluded, ICE attempted to re-detain him without presenting a concrete plan for deportation. The judge's ruling emphasizes that indefinite detention without a deportation plan violates established legal precedents and the individual's due process rights. Legal experts suggest this ruling could set an important precedent for similar cases nationwide, potentially limiting the government's ability to detain immigrants indefinitely when deportation is not immediately feasible.
