Asylum Bid Denied for Salvadoran Man, Abrego Garcia
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is from El Salvador, had his request to stay in the US rejected by a judge.
He previously was arrested and his request for asylum was denied as he was in the US for over a year.
The judge said there wasn't enough proof that the government planned to send him to Uganda or another country.
Garcia, who has an American family, can still try to appeal the decision.
If he loses, he might have to return to El Salvador where he faces danger or go to a detention center.
Garcia was deported before by the Trump administration and later brought back.
He faces criminal charges and the case has become a big deal for people arguing about immigration.
An immigration judge denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia's asylum bid.
The judge cited insufficient evidence regarding deportation plans.
Garcia immigrated to the US illegally and has an American family.
He was previously deported but later returned due to a Supreme Court ruling.
Garcia can appeal the decision within 30 days.
