Kilmar Abrego García was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Monday after arriving at the agency’s Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in after his release pending trial on human smuggling charges, his attorney said.

His immigration lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said Abrego’s defense team has filed a new legal action challenging his detention and looking to stop his removal before he has a full hearing in court.

Abrego’s lawyers asserted in a court filing Saturday that the government was threatening him with removal to Uganda in an effort to coerce him into pleading guilty and accepting deportation to Costa Rica — a Spanish-speaking country that is regarded as the safest in Latin America. A prior court order in Maryland mandated that the government give Abrego at least 72 hours to contest his removal to an alternate country.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia expected to be released from jail Friday​

Abrego Garcia’s freedom before trial may be brief.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could detain him upon arrival in Maryland and may attempt to deport him again.

Giving someone the choice between deportation to Uganda and pleading guilty, with no option of actually going to trial, is vile.

Trump admin immediately violates judge's orders in high-profile case: court filing​

Yet, despite an order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes that Garcia be granted access to his legal counsel, ICE officials have ignored such requests, according to new filings from his legal team.

“Defense counsel called (an ICE) phone number to request a legal call, and the operator was unable to schedule a call, directing counsel to send an email,” reads the legal filing, submitted on Monday.

“Counsel then emailed the ICE email address and requested a legal call; we have yet to receive any response. This process does not comply with Magistrate Judge Holmes’s release order, which required the government to facilitate access to Mr. Abrego if he were taken into ICE custody.”

Judge blocks administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia until at least October​

The judge extended her restraining order until his court challenge is resolved.

The judge also said that Abrego Garcia, who is currently being held in a detention center in Virginia, must remain in custody within a 200-mile radius of the court in Maryland.

Attorneys for Abrego Garcia filed an emergency motion Monday to reopen his immigration case in order to seek asylum, arguing 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.

Ridiculous.

The government could have worked out a deal to allow Abrego be deported to Costa Rica in return for pleading guilty to a minor offense. But of course, this government will not do that....
