U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued a temporary restraining order blocking ICE from detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia at a scheduled Baltimore check‑in, finding officials lacked legal authority to re‑detain him, had “affirmatively misled” the court and noting there is no final removal order; ICE released him from the Moshannon Valley Processing Center and he returned to Maryland. The action follows an immigration judge’s order for his release and comes amid ongoing litigation — including rescheduled federal hearings, a Tennessee judge’s admonition over public statements about Abrego Garcia and the administration’s efforts to keep him detained — with Pretrial Services and parties ordered to coordinate release conditions and file a joint status report.

Students at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis created cards and acts of service to mark the school’s feast day as part of healing after an August mass shooting that killed two students and injured nearly two dozen. Archbishop Bernard Hebda personally delivered the students' cards and a centennial button to Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, and said the Pope promised prayers for the families and the Archdiocese.
