Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who the Trump administration wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March, was released from criminal custody on Friday, his lawyer said.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in a social media statement, called Abrego’s release a “new low,” wrongly ascribing the decision to release him to a Maryland judge.
