💨 Abstract

The U.S. government plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a third country if released before his human smuggling trial in Tennessee. This contradicts previous statements from the Justice Department and the White House, which said he would face trial and possible imprisonment before deportation. Abrego Garcia's attorneys argue he is being wrongfully targeted to justify his earlier deportation, which violated a judge's order. They seek to have him transferred to Maryland to prevent immediate deportation.
