华盛顿——田纳西州一名联邦法官周五驳回了一项针对基尔马尔·阿夫雷戈·加西亚的起诉。这名萨尔瓦多男子去年被特朗普政府错误驱逐出境，此前他被指控犯有人口走私罪。
美国地区法官韦弗利·克伦肖批准了阿夫雷戈·加西亚撤销刑事指控的请求，理由是司法部的起诉具有报复性。
这一判决对阿夫雷戈·加西亚来说是一场重大胜利，他的移民案件曾成为特朗普总统全面打击移民政策的一个焦点。
阿夫雷戈·加西亚去年被指控犯有两项人口走私罪，案件源于2022年11月在田纳西州的一次交通拦截。当时他被州公路巡警拦下，警方在其车内发现了多名人员。他此前已提出无罪抗辩。
2025年3月，阿夫雷戈·加西亚被驱逐出美国并送往萨尔瓦多，最初被关押在一所声名狼藉的超高度戒备监狱。在此之前，一名移民法官已授予阿夫雷戈·加西亚合法身份，禁止移民当局将其遣返回本国，特朗普政府的一名官员也承认将其驱逐到萨尔瓦多是一个错误。
阿夫雷戈·加西亚在马里兰州提起民事诉讼，质疑对他的驱逐行动，一名联邦法官于2025年4月下令特朗普政府协助他返回美国。然而，国土安全部数月来一直拒绝执行该命令，最终还是将他送回美国面临刑事指控。
此后他一直卷入民事和刑事法律纠纷，曾先后被田纳西州联邦当局和马里兰州移民官员羁押。在案件审理期间，他已有数月未被移民羁押。
Judge tosses federal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Washington — A federal judge in Tennessee on Friday tossed out an indictment charging Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man mistakenly deported by the Trump administration last year, with human smuggling.
U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw granted Abrego Garcia’s effort to dismiss the criminal charges on the ground that the Justice Department’s prosecution was vindictive.
The decision is a massive victory for Abrego Garcia, whose immigration case became a flashpoint in President Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown.
Abrego Garcia was charged last year with two counts of human smuggling stemming from a November 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee, where he was pulled over by state Highway Patrol and was found to have numerous people in his vehicle. He pleaded not guilty.
The indictment came after Abrego Garcia was removed from the U.S. in March 2025 and flown to El Salvador, where he was initially held at a notorious supermax prison. But an immigration judge had granted Abrego Garcia a legal status that forbade immigration authorities from deporting him to his home country, and a Trump administration official acknowledged his removal to El Salvador was a mistake.
Abrego Garcia filed a civil lawsuit in Maryland challenging his deportation, and a federal judge ordered the Trump administration in April 2025 to facilitate his return back to the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security, however, resisted doing so for months, but eventually returned him to the U.S. to face criminal charges.
He has since been intertwined in civil and criminal legal fights, and held on separate occasions by federal authorities in Tennessee and immigration officials in Maryland. He has remained out of immigration custody for several months while his cases proceeded.
