Prosecutors tell judge government plans to deport Abrego Garcia to a country that’s not El Salvador

UNITED STATES, JUN 26 – Federal prosecutors plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a country other than El Salvador after his trial on human smuggling charges, despite a 2019 order barring deportation to his home country.

  • Federal prosecutors informed a Maryland judge on Thursday that after Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from a Tennessee detention center, the Trump administration intends to remove him to a country other than El Salvador.
  • This plan comes in response to Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation to El Salvador in March, which disregarded a 2019 immigration judge’s directive that prohibited sending him back to his home country due to credible gang threats against him.
  • Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes delayed his release on Wednesday, setting conditions including home detention in Maryland with his U.S. citizen brother, amid concerns that ICE, a separate agency beyond her authority, might detain and deport him.
  • Attorney Jonathan Cooper expressed fears that the government might try to remove Abrego Garcia quickly, while Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn stated there are no imminent deportation plans and promised to comply with court orders.
  • The ongoing legal dispute highlights challenges in coordinating federal agencies and raises questions about ensuring Abrego Garcia faces trial without premature deportation or rights violations.
