Judge dismisses criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported

· KRGV (NBC 5)

A federal judge has dismissed human smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last year. The judge criticized the Justice Department for pursuing charges that appeared to be retaliatory after Garcia challenged his deportation. U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw noted evidence of 'presumptive vindictiveness' in the prosecution's timing and statements from Trump administration officials. Although Garcia won this legal battle, his future remains uncertain as officials have threatened to deport him to various African countries. Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, has lived in the U.S. for years and has an American wife and child.
