A Tennessee federal court has dismissed all criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, bringing an end to a case that captured national headlines due to a deportation error by the Trump administration.
The federal judge cleared Garcia of human smuggling charges that had been pending against him. Garcia’s situation became widely known after the Trump administration mistakenly deported him to a dangerous correctional facility in El Salvador.
The dismissal represents a complete victory for Garcia, who is now free of all federal criminal allegations that had been brought against him.
