Abrego Garcia's attorneys asked the judge to delay their client's release last Friday, saying they were worried about mixed messages from Donald Trump's administration.
A federal judge has ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail after his lawyers said they were worried he would be deported if he was released.
Abrego Garcia's attorneys asked the judge to delay their client's release last Friday, saying they were worried about mixed messages from Donald Trump's administration. The administration has said the Department of Justice intends to try Abrego Garcia for human smuggling before he is deported, but his attorneys say there are still concerns that he could be deported as soon as he's released.
“We cannot put any faith in any representation made on this issue," lawyers wrote in a filing on Friday. The irony of seeking to keep Abrego Garcia in jail, they wrote, "is not lost on anyone.”
The Justice Department returned Abrego Garcia to custody in the U.S. early in June. In May, a grand jury charged him with alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling.
Federal prosecutors allege Abrego Garcia “played a significant role in an undocumented alien smuggling ring that has resulted in thousands of undocumented aliens being illegally transported into and throughout the United States.”
Abrego Garcia has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
A federal judge ordered Abrego Garcia's release from jail on June 22.
But earlier on June 13, prosecutors said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would take Abrego Garcia into custody on those charges if he were released from jail.
It is not clear whether the Department of Justice or the Department of Homeland Security would have priority over Abrego Garcia's case.

I look forward to this judge’s trial.
Just send in Federal Marshals and drag this piece of garbage onto a plane back to El Salvador. Dare this judge to do anything about it.
L
Sounds like he is harboring a fugitive....
The judge isnt concerned over the fact that this scumbag is a murderer who beat his wife and trafficked in women and children, NAH that doesnt bother her at all, but God forbid he get deported, now THAT is what eats at her crawl
Take the damn judge too, they can be cellmates
Yes, it does.
If he hasn’t broken the law yet I’m pretty sure he will before long.
No mercy for Marxist judges!
WHY WOULD HE QUALIFY FOR RELEASE IN ANY CASE?
HE IS CHARGED WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING-—FOR YEARS
EVEN IF HE WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL—ELIGIBLE FOR DEPORTATION-—HE HAS COMMITTED A TERRIBLE CRIME-—
WHAT REASON TO GIVE HIM BAIL???
It’s amazing how much digging one must do to find out who the judge is. They are still protected to a remarkable extent, at least the liberal ones are.
Deporte! Si si se puede!
That action alone tells the intentions of this treasonous judge.
OK so the Fed judge wants to play cute. Trump should grant a presidential pardon to Garcia on the charges he is being held on to get around this dirtbag judge and, once released pursuant to the pardon, ICE grabs his ass and deports him.Checkmate
He might get to be AA 1st “guest.

Got to get a kick out of this link.
Garcia’s lawyer: I was for it before I was against it.
Why is the judiciary so concerned with keeping this wetback pig in America? It’s like the entire row of Dipstick Courts are all dependent on this POS skunk being around and available. Their connection to the cartels maybe?
