“… Abrego Garcia, who was
rearrested Monday in Maryland after he was released Friday from criminal custody in Tennessee, is currently being held in a detention center in Virginia, where the federal government is temporarily blocked from deporting him pending further proceedings in a habeas case.
… According to the emergency motion to reopen the case, his attorneys argue that because Abrego Garcia was deported and then brought back to the U.S., he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S.
The motion asks the immigration court in Baltimore to "immediately" order a stay of removal to afford Abrego Garcia "an opportunity to seek protection from persecution and torture in Uganda," where the government has indicated he could be sent.…”
