Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns that he could be deported if he’s released to await his trial on human smuggling charges, a federal judge in Tennessee ruled Monday.
Abrego Garcia’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay his release because of what they described as “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration over what would happen to the Salvadoran national.
The lawyers wrote in a brief to the court that “we cannot put any faith in any representation made on this issue” by the Justice Department, adding that the “irony of this request is not lost on anyone.”
Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old construction worker who had been living in Prince George’s County, became a flashpoint over Trump’s hardline immigration policies when he was mistakenly deported to his native El Salvador in March. Facing mounting pressure and a Supreme Court order, the administration returned him this month to face the human smuggling charges, which his attorneys have called “preposterous.”

the fake news media love to report that he was “mistakenly deported” as if he is a US citizen and not an illegal alien!!!
the fact of the matter is, he is here illegally and the only country in the entire world we can’t deport him to because of some other judges ruling, is his home country! So we will deport him to Africa at the first opportunity!
Five bucks says he’s in Africa for less than 24 hours and then he’s on his way to El Salvador
He was perfectly fine where he was. Why he was brought back is idiotic.
So he’s stsying in jail to keep him from going to ANOTHER jail?.....that’s freaking hilarious!
Does this judge have any idea at all what a fool he has made himself look like? .....what a dipshit. SMH
RELAX, people! This is exactly what DOJ wanted when they threatened to insta-deport him if the judge released him as expected. He’s not free, that’s all that matters. And his case continues.
meh... if you asked me (and no one did) I would have left him in El Salvador. They had the problem under control.
Send him home.
Good point
it is a she ...
How much have the taxpayers already spent on this POS?
by President Donald Trump’s administration over what would happen to the Salvadoran national.
