A Tennessee judge ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant facing human smuggling charges, rejecting government claims he posed a danger to the community. The judge’s 51-page ruling found the government failed to justify continued detention, scheduling a hearing to determine release conditions. While released from jail, Abrego Garcia will likely remain in ICE custody pending deportation proceedings. This decision follows his wrongful deportation and subsequent return to the U.S. to face charges stemming from a 2022 traffic stop.

Mahmoud Khalil’s release from federal immigration detention marks the end of a three-month ordeal that sparked widespread outrage. His detention, stemming from the expression of his political views, raised serious concerns about free speech rights in the United States.
The conditions of his release include surrendering his passport, effectively restricting his ability to travel internationally. This has led to strong opinions on whether the administration’s actions align with their stated immigration policies. Some see this as a forced confinement within the country, contradicting a potential expectation of self-deportation.
Many believe that Khalil deserves significant compensation for the unjust detention, citing similar cases where individuals received substantial payouts.… Continue reading
A US judge has ordered the release of pro-Palestinian activist Khalil, marking a significant development in a case that has drawn considerable attention. This order follows previous legal challenges questioning the legality of his detention.
The initial detention stemmed from allegations that Khalil withheld information on his application for lawful permanent residency. However, the judge’s decision to order his release now indicates that these charges, deemed insufficient for indefinite detention, have been reviewed and found wanting. This wasn’t a simple, straightforward matter though.
Earlier rulings, sometimes misinterpreted in the media, didn’t explicitly mandate Khalil’s immediate release. While one charge was deemed insufficient to justify his continued confinement, another charge—allegations of fraud by omission on his green card application—was initially considered a valid reason for detention, pending further investigation.… Continue reading

Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled that the Trump administration lacks sufficient grounds to deport or detain Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist and lawful permanent resident.

Under the Trump administration, numerous Venezuelan asylum seekers have been deported to El Salvador without due process, effectively disappearing from the U.S. system. These deportations, often based on unsubstantiated gang affiliations or seemingly arbitrary factors like tattoos, leave families unable to locate their loved ones, whose names vanish from official databases. Experts argue that these actions meet the UN definition of “enforced disappearances,” a tactic used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent and instill fear. The lack of transparency and denial of legal recourse surrounding these deportations raise serious human rights concerns.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation to El Salvador was a mistake, or so it seemed. Now, he’s on his way back to the United States to face criminal charges. The charges allege his participation in a long-running conspiracy to transport undocumented migrants within the U.S., spanning years and potentially involving thousands of individuals. This raises significant questions about the timing of these charges, appearing only after the controversy surrounding his initial deportation.
The indictment alleges that Garcia, 29, played a role in a conspiracy to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country. Sources familiar with the investigation claim that some of those transported were affiliated with MS-13, a claim requiring further scrutiny and evidence.… Continue reading
