The Trump administration vows Salvadoran man Kilmar Ábrego García "will never go free" in the US after judge orders his release. García was mistakenly deported and brought back on criminal charges. Officials charged him with human smuggling in Tennessee, but the judge ordered his release while he awaits trial, noting immigration officials may still detain him. García has denied the trafficking conspiracy charges filed in a federal indictment dating back to 2016.
