Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been detained by immigration authorities in Baltimore and faces possible efforts by the Trump administration to deport him to Uganda.
However, a blanket court order automatically pauses any effort by the Trump administration to immediately deport Abrego Garcia and other immigrants who are challenging their detention.
Abrego Garcia became the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies when he was wrongfully deported in March to El Salvador. He was returned to the U.S. in June, but only to face human smuggling charges that his lawyers call preposterous.
He was released from jail on Friday to await trial. He was detained on Monday morning.
