Washington — A federal magistrate judge said Monday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and then was returned to the United States to face criminal charges of human smuggling, will remain in federal custody until at least mid-July. Abrego Garcia's lawyers had asked the judge Friday to delay his release, warning that the Trump administration had made conflicting statements about whether he will be deported after he is released ahead of a trial.
Main Idea: Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in federal custody for now after a judge delayed his release amid concerns he could be deported again before his criminal case moves forward.
Key Points:
The case may keep taxpayers paying for longer court and detention costs, and it could deepen debate over immigration enforcement and due process.
A delay may reduce the chance of a mistaken or rushed deportation and give courts time to sort out Abrego Garcia’s legal status.
