US District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia can stay in the country during his immigration proceedings.
The alleged MS-13 gang member, wife beater, and human trafficker turned himself in to ICE this morning, knowing he faced deportation to Uganda.
Abrego Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, filed a lawsuit to block the deportation.
Xinis said President Donald Trump’s administration could continue immigration proceedings against Abrego Garcia.
But the administration was “absolutely forbidden at this juncture” to remove Abrego Garcia.
The judge also demanded “more written legal arguments from the Justice Department and Abrego Garcia’s attorneys.”
The evidentiary hearings with witnesses will likely happen within days.
Abrego Garcia became national news after the left and Democrats went insane after President Donald Trump’s administration deported him to El Salvador.
Their love for this “Maryland father” never died, even after evidence emerged of him trafficking humans and abusing his wife.
The administration brought back Abrego Garcia, but detained him in Tennessee on charges of human trafficking.
Abrego Garcia returned to Maryland after U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes released him into the custody of his brother ahead of a trial for human trafficking.
