💨 Abstract

A federal judge ordered the unsealing of court documents related to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation, rejecting the Trump administration's national security claims. Media organizations, including the AP, argued for public access under the First Amendment. Unsealed documents are mostly routine, containing exchanges between Garcia's attorneys and the U.S. government. President Donald Trump previously stated he could facilitate Garcia's return but refused, alleging Garcia's membership in the MS-13 gang.
