Abrego Garcia asks to delay release from jail amid Trump threats of deportation
MARYLAND AND TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, JUN 27 – Attorneys seek extended detention for Kilmar Abrego Garcia amid fears of immediate deportation despite a 2019 order protecting him from removal to El Salvador, highlighting legal conflicts.
- Amid conflicting statements, his attorneys filed a motion to delay his release until a July 16 hearing, aiming to keep him in custody in Tennessee.
- Earlier this year, he was deported to El Salvador in March despite a 2019 court order, and the Justice Department returned him last month to face charges.
- Under Trump administration policies, Kilmar Abrego Garcia would be detained and deported, while he faces human smuggling charges and has pleaded not guilty.
- Prosecutors are appealing the ruling and plan to call a Department of Homeland Security investigator Wednesday, and the court agreed to delay release until July 16 despite limited enforcement control.
- Future proceedings could determine his immediate release and set a precedent, underscoring due process challenges.
