Judge denies Kilmar Abrego Garcia's bid for asylum in the US
"An immigration judge in Baltimore has denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia's bid for asylum on Thursday, but he has 30 days to appeal. Abrego's case has drawn national attention since the 30-year-old was wrongfully deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador in March. Following widespread pressure, the Trump administration returned him to the US in June. Upon his return, however, he immediately faced criminal charges related to human smuggling, allegations that his lawyers have rejected."
"Abrego, a Salvadorian native, was released from criminal custody in Tennessee on Friday while awaiting trial. But the Trump administration announced new plans to deport him to Uganda. Then Abrego was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) during a scheduled immigration check-in in Baltimore, which was one of the conditions of his release."
