Prosecutors charged Abrego Garcia with human smuggling based on a two-and-a-half-year-old traffic stop in Tennessee.
In his ruling, Judge Waverly Crenshaw found issue with the delay in prosecution.
Abrego Garcia's federal investigation began only after the Supreme Court ordered he be returned to the U.S.
He also pointed to a senior prosecutor who resigned from the DOJ after his recommendation not to charge Abrego Garcia went unheeded.

Tennessee's ACLU, NAACP, and Democratic Party have all filed separate lawsuits challenging different aspects of the map.
But they all have the same goal, to block it from going into effect before the midterms.
The allegations range from racial discrimination to voter disenfranchisement to an overreach of state powers.
So far, Tennessee's attorney general has argued that the NAACP doesn't have standing to challenge the maps.
A previous NAACP challenge to the state's 2022 maps was rejected by the courts because the change would have been too close to an election.
Now the NAACP is hoping that logic extends to the state's new maps.

The NAACP has filed an emergency petition against Tennessee's new maps, arguing that the state didn't have the authority to strike down a 50-year-old law that barred mid-decade redistricting.
The new congressional maps split Memphis, the state's only majority Black voting bloc, into three different districts.
Protesters from the state's blue cities argue that this will take away the voice of voters who support Democrats, roughly a third of the state's population.
Republicans say that the new maps will reflect the state's overall conservative bent and maintain that redistricting along party lines is legal.
