Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has become the face of President Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda, is seeking asylum in the United States, his lawyers told a federal judge on Wednesday. US District Judge Paula Xinis ruled on Wednesday that Abrego Garcia, 30, can’t be deported before at least Oct. 6, reports CNN, which is the date she set for a hearing in the case. She said she’ll issue a ruling within 30 days of that hearing, and Abrego Garcia must remain on US soil until then. Xinis is one of the Maryland federal judges Trump unsuccessfully sued.
