ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from custody and return to Maryland.

“​​Every person is afforded their right to due process by the Constitution, and from the start, we’ve asked that due process be followed—meaning everyone receives proper notice of the allegations against them and has an opportunity to be heard.
“This was never about one person, but about the laws that govern all people in our country. Several courts have made decisions in this case, and we expect the Trump administration to follow those decisions.”
