Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain in the United States through at least late November, according to new court filings, as the Justice Department fights to avoid a subpoena for the testimony of its second-in-command, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

The extension marks the latest turn in a monthslong legal battle that has placed Abrego Garcia, 30, at the center of the Trump administration’s stepped-up immigration enforcement strategy. His case is unfolding on two fronts: a civil fight in Maryland over his removal and a criminal prosecution in Tennessee, with both courts now probing whether the government pursued charges against him as retaliation.
