“Kilmar Abrego García is a victim of a politicized, vindictive White House and its lawyers at what used to be an independent Justice Department. We are so pleased that he is a free man. Justifiably so. As this Administration continually chips away at our democracy, we remain grateful for an independent judiciary that will dispassionately apply binding precedent to the facts.”

The Hecker Fink team includes Sean Hecker, Jenna Dabbs, David Patton, Derek Wikstrom, Jeffrey Then, Thea Raymond-Sidel, Nicole Ng, and Alexandra Kersley.
