Abrego Garcia’s attorneys expressed concern that his release would lead to immediate detention by ICE and deportation

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain in jail for now after fears that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will swoop to deport him as soon as he is released.

Abrego Garcia’s attorneys expressed concern that his release would lead to immediate detention by ICE and deportation.

A federal judge ruled the Salvadoran father, who was criminally accused of human smuggling, has a right to be released and even set specific conditions.

But he will remain in jail for at least a few more days while attorneys spar over whether prosecutors can prevent Abrego Garcia’s deportation if he is released to await trial.

    Every officer knows they need warrants and to identify themselves and that all arrests see a judge or they get released. Any officer not doing so is committing a felony and they know that. I say anyone who assisted at any point needs to be prosecuted, following orders isn’t a defense.

      Definitely. I am not defending ICE (ha! fuck those guys). My comment was meant as an indictment on the administration as a whole. ICE didn’t go rogue. ICE is doing exactly what Trump said it would do.
