A federal judge in Maryland, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, issued a temporary restraining order blocking ICE and DHS from re‑detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia, finding officials lacked legal authority and had misled the court; Garcia was released from the Moshannon Valley Processing Center and returned to Maryland. The order keeps him free pending further immigration and criminal proceedings, requires ICE to notify his attorney and update the court before any custody action, and bars any re‑detention absent a new lawful basis.

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.
