Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia must stay in US until at least October, Obama-appointed judge rules

Accused MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia can’t be deported until at least October, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

US District Judge Paula Xinis, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, set an evidentiary hearing for Oct. 6, according to CNN.

The federal judge’s latest order follows her decision to pause the Trump administration’s plan to deport Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, to Uganda until he’s given the opportunity to contest his removal.

The deportation pause came down hours after Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Abrego Garcia at the agency’s office in Maryland — following his release from a Tennessee jail last week after facing human smuggling charges.
