"Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been held in a detention center in Virginia since August 25, and is facing a second deportation. The government has proposed two possible destinations for the Maryland resident Uganda or, as revealed last week, El Salvador both of which are far from ideal. The latter was thought to be off the table, since it was the Central American country to which he was mistakenly sent last March. Court documents released Friday reveal that the Trump administration could repeat the operation."
"Media outlets, politicians, civil rights organizations, and much of the public are closely watching, as Abrego Garcia has become a symbol of resistance against Donald Trump's deportation policies. His lawyers filed a lawsuit to guarantee his right to due process while his deportation case continues. Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland, who is overseeing the case, temporarily blocked a possible expulsion by ordering that Abrego remain in the United States until she rules on the petition, which is expected around mid-October."
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been detained in Virginia since August 25 and faces a proposed second deportation to Uganda or El Salvador, the latter previously and mistakenly used in March. Court documents indicate possible repetition of the mistaken removal. Multiple legal cases will determine his fate while public attention, media, politicians, and civil rights groups watch his case. A federal judge in Maryland temporarily blocked expulsion, ordered Abrego to remain in the United States and in ICE custody within 200 miles of Greenbelt, and scheduled a hearing with expected witness testimony on October 6. He also faces a Tennessee human trafficking criminal case with a January trial.
