President Donald Trump’s administration is hailing a federal immigration judge’s ruling after dangerous illegal alien criminal Kilmar Abrego Garcia was denied a request to block his deportation order.
The ruling comes months after a high-profile deportation case involving an alleged MS-13 associate saw him removed and then returned to the United States.
However, despite the Democrats’ best effort to frame the “Maryland Man” as a “victim” of Trump’s immigration agenda, a judge has just denied the latest attempt to block his expulsion.
Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge Philip Taylor rejected an emergency request from Garcia’s attorneys to reopen the case, according to a decision obtained by ABC News.
Garcia’s legal team had argued that his removal, followed by his mandated return, made him newly eligible to apply for asylum.
Judge Taylor dismissed the argument.
The judge noted that Garcia’s application for asylum would be “untimely,” since his original immigration proceedings began nearly six years ago.
The case centers on the Trump administration’s charge that Garcia is affiliated with MS-13, one of the most violent gangs in the Western Hemisphere.
Prosecutors have also accused him of human trafficking, domestic abuse, and crimes against children.
Garcia’s attorneys deny the allegations and have sought to delay his removal by citing fears of persecution abroad.
In a statement on X following the ruling, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) declared:
“This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator will never be loose on American streets.
“His lawyers tried to fight his removal from the U.S., but one thing is certain: this Salvadoran man is not going to be able to remain in our country.
“He will never be allowed to prey on innocent Americans again.”
With today’s ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s final order of removal stands.
This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator will never be loose on American streets.

Garcia’s defense team argued he could face persecution if deported to countries such as Uganda or Eswatini.
Judge Taylor dismissed the claim, writing that DHS had only noted it “may” remove him to a third country.
“The word ‘may’ is permissive and indicates to the Court that in sending this notification to Respondent’s counsel, the Department sought to convey that it reserved the right to remove him to Uganda, not necessarily that it intended to do so, that it had decided to do so, or that it would do so imminently,” he wrote.
Garcia’s case has stretched on for years.
He was deported in March but later returned to the United States in June to face human-trafficking charges.
The latest order comes as the government shutdown, which began the same day, will pause deadlines in the case “by the total number of days of the lapse in appropriations,” according to the Department of Justice.
