A federal judge has ordered the release of a key witness in a fatal shooting involving a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. The witness, Jose Trinidad Rojas Pliego, was being held in ICE custody. The judge's order requires his release within 48 hours.

This decision comes after the judge previously blocked his deportation, citing a violation of due process rights. Further details about the case and the shooting that led to the witness's detention are available from KXXV News.
