Trump administration to appeal dismissal of criminal charges against Abrego Garcia

The Trump administration plans to appeal a federal judge's dismissal of human smuggling charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in 2025 and later returned to the U.S. The judge ruled the charges were retaliatory after Abrego challenged his deportation, calling the prosecution 'vindictive and selective.' Abrego faces a separate deportation case in Maryland.
