The high-profile deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is once again in the spotlight after an "activist" judge once again temporarily threw a wrench in the Department of Homeland Security's work.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued an order barring immigration enforcement officials from detaining and deporting Garcia.

'This order lacks any valid legal basis, and we will continue to fight this tooth and nail in the courts.'

Judge Xinis, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, upheld requests from Garcia's lawyers for a temporary restraining order against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, Newsweek reported.

Garcia was freed from immigration detention on Thursday after months of being in limbo, the Associated Press reported.
