IMMIGRATION JUDGE UPHOLDS FINAL REMOVAL OF ALLEGED MS-13 MEMBER; DHS TOUTS RULING, SLAMS DEMOCRATS ON X

An immigration judge denied a motion to reopen Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case, leaving his final order of removal in place. The court found his asylum filing was years late and said there was insufficient evidence of threats in El Salvador or that a third-country transfer was predetermined. DHS amplified the outcome on X, framing the case as a public-safety win and attacking Democratic critics. The ruling marks a new turn in a high-profile case previously paused by federal courts and widely used in politicized enforcement messaging.
