Celebrate the Court’s Stand for Due Process and Dignity

In a powerful victory for justice, due process, and basic human rights, a federal judge has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE custody after months of unlawful and deeply troubling detention. Judge Paula Xinis made clear what the government refused to acknowledge: there was no legal basis for his removal or continued detention, and the Trump administration’s handling of his case violated fundamental constitutional protections.

Kilmar’s ordeal — from being wrongfully sent to a dangerous prison abroad to being shuffled through ICE detention despite no valid removal order — became a symbol of the administration’s mass-deportation policies and their disregard for the rule of law. By demanding his release, Judge Xinis affirmed that no one can be held indefinitely without legal authority, and that courts must serve as a critical check on government abuse.

This ruling is not just a win for Kilmar — it is a resounding statement in defense of civil liberties, human dignity, and the promise that every person deserves fair treatment under the law.

Add your name to applaud Judge Xinis for upholding due process, rejecting unlawful detention, and standing firm for justice in the face of government overreach.
