Kilmar Ábrego García – who has been thrust into the middle of an acrimonious deportation saga by the second Trump administration – has been detained after reporting to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents in Baltimore on Monday.

“The only reason he was taken into detention was to punish him,” Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, an attorney representing Ábrego, told a crowd of supporters outside a Baltimore Ice field office on Monday.

The attorney also said his client filed a new lawsuit on Monday morning challenging his potential deportation to Uganda and his current confinement.

      He’s held on this long, and he’s a household name now. They can’t DO ANYTHING to him without it being international news. Won’t stop them from trying to kill him, though.
