Immigration Judge Rejects Ábrego García’s Asylum Bid as Federal Court Probes Possible Retaliatory Prosecution

A separate federal judge has authorized discovery on claims that prosecutors pursued the case to retaliate.

Kilmar Ábrego García podría ser deportado de Estados Unidos
Deportado por error y acusado sin pruebas: el caso de Kilmar Ábrego sacude a la comunidad migratoria en EE. UU.

Overview

  • An immigration judge in Baltimore denied Kilmar Ábrego García’s motion to reopen and rejected his asylum claim, starting a 30‑day window to appeal.
  • DHS says a final removal order remains in effect and publicly labeled him an MS‑13 member in a post on X.
  • U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. ruled that Ábrego García showed enough evidence to seek discovery on a vindictive‑prosecution claim, citing public statements by senior officials and a 903‑day gap between a 2022 traffic stop and this year’s charges.
  • Federal prosecutors accuse him of human trafficking related to a Tennessee stop in 2022 in which he was allegedly transporting undocumented migrants.
  • He was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March and returned in June, and ICE has floated removing him to a third country such as Uganda or Eswatini.
