1+ hour, 23+ min ago (287+ words) WASHINGTON " The Department of Homeland has promised to appeal a judge's order to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. On Thursday, United States District Judge Paula Xinis granted a habeas corpus petition. As part of the ruling, Abrego Garcia should be released from ICE custody immediately." DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin called the decision "naked judicial activism by an Obama-appointed judge." "This order lacks any valid legal basis, and we will continue to fight this tooth and nail in the courts," said McLaughlin via social media. Abrego Garcia's case drew national spotlight in March after he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, despite being legally permitted to remain in Maryland. The judge gave prosecutors until 5 p.m. EST to formally respond to the release order. Abrego Garcia's attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said the judge made it clear that the government…...

2+ hour, 28+ min ago (387+ words) ASHBURN, Va. " There are multiple roles the Washington Commanders can play in any given NFL season, depending on how successful they are, or are not, as a group. Of course, the ultimate role every NFL team wants to play is that of champion, one that the Commanders got just two wins away from in 2024. This season, however, with just three wins entering the final four games of the year, Washington won't be champion, nor contender, but it can be a spoiler, and in that role, there is still some fun to be had. Especially in a time of year when The Grinch is nearly as popular as Santa Claus himself. "We're not going to the playoffs, so if I could ruin somebody else's Christmas too, I would love to do that," veteran edge defender Von Miller told WUSA9's Melissa Kim…...
