Judge Temporarily Blocks Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia until at least October while his legal challenge is ongoing, including a hearing scheduled for October 6. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran, was deported to El Salvador in March despite a court order, and is now fighting to reopen his immigration case to seek asylum, arguing he is eligible due to his deportation and return to the US. The judge has also ordered him to remain in custody within 200 miles of Maryland during the case.
