"An unhinged judge in Maryland ordered [Abrego Garcia's] release, despite his status as an MS-13 gang member, being indicted by a grand jury for human trafficking, and being subject to arrest under immigration law," DHS reported on Friday.

On Monday, US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced that ICE had taken Abrego Garcia into custody and intended to deport him to Uganda.

Abrego Garcia's attorneys immediately filed a habeas corpus petition—and Judge Xinis promptly complied, telling DHS that "Your clients are absolutely forbidden at this juncture to remove Mr. Abrego Garcia from the continental United States."

Judge Xinis also suggested she will block the deportation of Abrego Garcia to Uganda—because it's not the illegal alien's "country of choice," ABC News reports:

"The federal government is currently blocked from deporting him through Wednesday, and Judge Xinis said she is also considering extending a temporary restraining order blocking Abrego Garcia from being deported to Uganda, where the government has indicated he may be sent despite his designated country of choice being Costa Rica."

Judge Xinis, an Obama appointee, has battled DHS' efforts and is the judge who earlier this year ordered the Trump Administration to return Abrego Garcia to the US from El Salvador, because the illegal alien had been deported to the wrong country.

Xinis now appears poised to further block Abrego Garcia's deportation so he can request asylum in the US, as The Washington Post explains:

"On Monday, she asked his attorneys to confer with the Justice Department on a schedule to argue their latest challenge to his removal. She said she hoped to hold a hearing on the matter as early as Friday.

"Should Xinis block Abrego's swift deportation, the next legal step for him could be what is known as a 'reasonable fear' interview with a US Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum officer, in which he would detail his fears of being removed to Uganda, his lawyers said. They requested that interview over the weekend." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
