About time! This below means that the DoJ / DHS and ICE will owe Mr. Abrego Garcia a (large) payment for all the legal fees he expended, fighting for his right… to have… rights.
Mr. Hecker’s firm will be reimbursed for what is easily at least a million dollars, here and in Nashville — too. But Abrego and his family should also win damages, for being unlawfully ID-ed in Maryland court documents (including home addresses!) filed by the Noemites. This forced his family to go into hiding, after death threats were received at the home. Here’s that order [and separately, Mr. Abrego Garcia has won the right to go to a church of his choosing (all details sealed) on Sundays, without any person on the government side disclosing any details about those private faith-based activities — that order was entered in Nashville over the weekend]:
…PAPERLESS ORDER:
For the reasons discussed during today’s recorded call, ECF No. 200 is DENIED as moot.
Plaintiffs’ Oral Motion to Withdrawn ECF No. 211 is GRANTED, pending a renewed motion to be filed no later than March 23, 2026.
By March 23, 2026, the parties SHALL file a joint status report proposing a hearing and briefing schedule in connection with any supplemental motion for sanctions.
Signed by Judge Paula Xinis on 3/9/2026….
What a topsy-turvy world these ICE folks have engendered with their… endless lawlessness. Damn.
