Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran native who was deported despite a court order barring his removal, cannot be deported again until at least October.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said Wednesday that the Trump administration has been temporarily blocked from deporting Abrego Garcia until his latest challenge against deportation is resolved in court.
Abrego Garcia had been transferred to a detention center in Tennessee, where officials stated he possibly could be deported to Uganda, but he now has a hearing slated for Oct. 6 to challenge that.
Xinis said she'll issue a ruling within 30 days of that hearing. She also ordered that custody of Abrego Garcia, who is currently being held in a detention center in Virginia, must remain within a 200-mile radius of the court in Maryland.
