Judge temporarily blocks Abrego Garcia's deportation.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the US government from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to another country, after immigration officers took him into custody at a check-in this morning.

Mr Abrego Garcia filed a new federal lawsuit challenging his current detention and potential deportation "to Uganda or any other country" until he has a trial.

At Tuesday's hearing, US District Judge Paula Xinis said she was barring the government from deporting Mr Abrego Garcia until she could hold a hearing on the matter.

Judge Xinis told Mr Ensign that the Trump administration was "absolutely forbidden" to remove Mr Abrego Garcia while those orders were in effect.

ICE is currently holding Mr Abrego Garcia at a facility in the state of Virginia, his attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg told Judge Xinis.

She is the same jurist who oversaw the initial lawsuit over Mr Abrego Garcia's mistaken deportation to El Salvador. »
