Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man from El Salvador, is seeking asylum in the United States to avoid deportation. He was taken into US immigration custody on 25 Aug 2025 during a court check-in Baltimore. The US government planned to deport him to Uganda, but he fears persecution and torture there and in El Salvador. A US judge has temporarily blocked his deportation until at least early October. Abrego Garcia was previously deported to El Salvador in March 2025 but was returned to the US after legal challenges. He denies accusations of gang membership and says he fled El Salvador due to threats. His case is ongoing in US courts. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 23:15 IST; source: link)
