Hearing for Kilmar Ábrego García to Determine If He Can Be Deported to Liberia Canceled
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
GREENBELT, Maryland — A hearing for Kilmar Ábrego García to determine whether the man mistakenly sent to El Salvador would be deported to Liberia was abruptly canceled on Tuesday for reasons that were unclear. The Trump administration is seeking to overturn a preliminary order issued by Judge Paula Xinis that prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from detaining and deporting Ábrego García to the African country. His legal team is attempting to make the order permanent. The judge upheld previous orders from last December and ordered his release. Ábrego García was present in the courtroom on Tuesday, but Judge Xinis never took the bench. Instead, attorneys for both sides left the courtroom about five minutes before the scheduled hearing. They held a 15-minute conference, after which the hearing was canceled. No announcement was made in court regarding the reason for the cancellation.
