Judge suspects vindictive prosecution in immigrant case

A federal judge believes immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia may have been maliciously prosecuted by the Justice Department after being wrongly deported to El Salvador. Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. cited evidence suggesting the government retaliated against Garcia for suing the Trump administration over his wrongful removal and for exercising his rights. This finding allows Garcia's legal team to seek evidence to dismiss his criminal charges, potentially revealing improper motives behind the Trump administration's immigration policies.
