US EditionAbrego Garcia asks to delay release from jail amid Trump threats of deportation
- In March, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly sent to a high-security facility in El Salvador, but he was brought back to Tennessee this month to face federal charges related to human smuggling.
- His deportation resulted from an acknowledged administrative error despite a 2019 immigration judge’s order protecting him due to credible gang threats in El Salvador.
- Garcia, who is currently detained in a Tennessee jail, entered a not guilty plea earlier in June. Federal magistrate judge Barbara Holmes has ruled that he may be released on bail, provided he complies with certain conditions such as residing with his brother in Maryland.
- Garcia's attorneys requested a delay of his release on Friday, citing contradictory statements by Trump administration officials about his potential deportation before trial, with Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn confirming plans to deport but offering no timeline.
- The case highlights tensions between prosecutorial goals and deportation policies, as prosecutors seek to keep Garcia for trial while his attorneys fear immediate removal, with a court hearing set for July 16 to resolve release and detention issues.
