Well, here we go again. Just in time for Christmas, a federal judge has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—yes, that Kilmar—the man allegedly tied to MS-13 and now facing human smuggling charges. And the best part? The Department of Homeland Security is now stuck scrambling to appeal what it’s calling “naked judicial activism.” Because of course, nothing says “season of giving” like handing a free pass to someone accused of trafficking people across the border.
The ruling came down Thursday from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis—an Obama appointee, naturally—who decided that Abrego Garcia’s re-detention by ICE lacked “lawful authority.” Translation: she doesn’t like how ICE is handling its job under President Trump’s immigration crackdown, so she’s going to step in, rewrite the playbook, and hope no one notices. But spoiler alert: we noticed.
According to the judge, Abrego Garcia has been treated unfairly because he was deported to El Salvador in March—where, by the way, he was sent to CECOT, a prison known for housing some of the worst gang members alive. But now, after bouncing back to the U.S. to face charges, he’s been granted his golden ticket out of detention… again. Never mind that he’s allegedly involved in a human smuggling operation that spans multiple countries. Never mind that ICE was trying to send him to Liberia after at least five other countries reportedly refused to take him. And certainly never mind the part where he entered the U.S. illegally and lived in Maryland for over a decade under the radar. Apparently, none of that counts anymore.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal, wife-beating, human smuggling MS-13 gang member, has officially been RELEASED into the interior of the United States following an activist judge’s orderDHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin didn’t mince words, calling the decision legally baseless and vowing to fight it “tooth and nail.” Honestly, it’s hard to blame her. We’ve reached a point where the federal government is trying to do its job—secure the border, uphold the law, keep Americans safe—and it’s being undermined by activist judges who seem more interested in open borders than in upholding immigration policy.
Reminder…
95% of legacy media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is positive.

One is an illegal gang member trafficker and the other was a Christian father working to make America a better place.

Should Kilmar Abrego Garcia remain released from custody pending trial?— C3 (@C_3C_3) December 11, 2025
And let’s talk about that immigration policy, shall we? Under President Trump, the administration has made it crystal clear: the days of catch-and-release are over. Or at least, they were supposed to be. But here comes Judge Xinis with a last-minute legal curveball, tossing a wrench into what should’ve been a straightforward detention of a man allegedly involved in transporting migrants illegally into the country.
Abrego Garcia, for his part, claims he’s being unfairly targeted. He’s pleaded not guilty and says he’s not affiliated with MS-13. That’s his right under the law, of course—but let’s not pretend this guy was picked up for jaywalking. According to the federal indictment, he conspired to unlawfully transport migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador, and other nations. That’s not exactly a parking ticket.
And let’s be honest here—this isn’t just about one case. This is about the broader message being sent by the judicial system: if you cross into the U.S. illegally, get tangled in a web of alleged criminal activity, and bounce between detention centers while dodging deportation, don’t worry—there’s probably a federal judge out there who’ll rule in your favor. Just keep appealing, and eventually, someone will decide that “due process” now includes a get-out-of-jail-free card.
As a career prosecutor and elected District Attorney, I am deeply disturbed by Obama appointed activist Judge Xinis’ order to release MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The trial is scheduled to begin in January, unless of course, Abrego Garcia manages to get those charges tossed too. At this point, who knows? Maybe next week we’ll find out he’s being offered a path to citizenship and a seat at the next State of the Union.
So here we are in 2025, with the southern border still a political battleground, sanctuary policies still being protected like sacred texts, and now, judges unilaterally deciding who gets to walk free. If this is what “compassion” looks like, maybe it’s time we start showing a little more of it to the American families living with the consequences.
