Kilmar Abrego Garcia was one of the Democrats' OG cause célèbres at the start of President Trump's second term when promises to finally enforce immigration laws and secure the border kicked in.
Believe it or not, the Trump administration is still battling the courts when it comes to Garcia's deportation, but once again the effort is moving forward:

Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen might have time for one last margarita with Garcia, unless the Trump administration's latest effort fails:
In a series of filings on Friday, administration officials asked a judge to dissolve a preliminary injunction that bars them from re-detaining Abrego Garcia and deporting him.
Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador who had been living in Maryland with his wife and children, was deported last March to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison -- despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which he and his attorneys deny.

Meanwhile, the Senate Democrats are working hard to protect their most precious demographic -- illegal aliens -- at the expense of Americans waiting in long airport security lines.
Let’s hope the courts hold…

It won't be surprising if an activist judge jumps in again at some point and tries to save the day for the Dems.
