“The Trump administration said a Salvadoran man who was mistakenly deported and then brought back to the US on criminal charges will ‘never go free’ on American soil, even though a judge ordered his release. … The judge overseeing the case said on Sunday that Mr Ábrego García should be released from custody while he awaits trial. But she noted immigration officials would still have the power to detain him. ‘Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien,’ Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a social media post on Monday. ‘We have said it for months and it remains true to this day: he will never go free on American soil.'” [editor’s note: Stick ICE Barbie in a cell on contempt charges and see if the position changes – TLK] (06/23/25)
