Prosecutors tell judge government plans to deport Abrego Garcia to a country that’s not El Salvador
- Federal prosecutors informed a Maryland judge that upon Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from a Tennessee jail, the government intends to begin deportation procedures and transfer him to a nation other than El Salvador.
- This incident occurred after Garcia was wrongly deported to El Salvador in March, despite a 2019 immigration judge's ruling that prohibited sending him back to his homeland due to credible threats from gangs.
- U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes delayed Garcia's release over concerns that prosecutors cannot control Immigration and Customs Enforcement , a separate agency with independent leadership and directions.
- Holmes ruled that prosecutors failed to prove Garcia was a flight risk and set release conditions including living with his U.S. citizen brother in Maryland, while prosecutors stated they have no imminent deportation plans and will comply with court orders.
- Garcia's attorneys filed an emergency motion for his return to Maryland after Tennessee release to prevent premature deportation, highlighting challenges in coordinating criminal custody and immigration enforcement.
