US EditionJudge rules Abrego wrongful deportation challenge must proceed
- On July 7, 2025, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis decided that Kilmar Abrego Garcia's legal case challenging the Trump administration's erroneous removal order must proceed in Maryland.
- The lawsuit follows Abrego's March 2025 deportation despite a 2019 court order blocking his removal due to likely persecution by gangs in El Salvador.
- Abrego, a Maryland resident for over a decade with an American wife and son, returned to the U.S. in June to face human smuggling charges and pleaded not guilty in Tennessee.
- Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn revealed that if Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released before his trial, ICE plans to deport him to a third country outside the U.S., contradicting previous White House assertions that he would be prosecuted and potentially incarcerated in the United States; meanwhile, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson affirmed that Abrego would be held accountable through the U.S. legal process.
- The ruling allows unresolved issues on Abrego's deportation to be addressed while his attorneys seek to keep him in Maryland to prevent another deportation before trial amid concerns about due process.
