Abrego Wins Court Victories, Remains Jailed on Smuggling Charges

Abrego Wins Court Victories, Remains Jailed on Smuggling Charges

Kilmar Abrego, who was wrongly sent back to El Salvador, won some legal battles.

Two judges agreed the government acted wrongly.

One said he should be let out on bail.

The other said they have to tell his lawyers if they try to send him to another country.

However, he's still in jail for at least a month because of other charges.

The government says he's in a gang, but he says that's not true.

He had been deported before, even though a court said he shouldn't have been.

Now, he's fighting the charges and his lawyers say they were made up to cover up a violation of his rights.
