Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia will ask an immigration judge to reopen his case and seek asylum, his lawyers told a federal judge on Wednesday, as the Trump administration remains restricted from removing the illegal immigrant quickly pending a habeas corpus hearing in October.
At a scheduling hearing Wednesday morning, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis scheduled an evidentiary hearing for Abrego Garcia’s habeas corpus lawsuit for Oct. 6. Xinis also extended her injunction preventing Abrego Garcia from being deported or moved more than 200 miles away from the courthouse pending the hearing.
