This ruling follows concerns raised by his attorneys about potential deportation risks as thay have sought to prevent his removal from the U.S. Despite a previous finding that Abrego Garcia was neither a danger nor a flight risk, his defense has requested a delay in his release, citing inconsistent statements from the Trump management regarding his deportation status.<\/p>\n<p>Abrego Garcia, who has been in the U.S. unlawfully for over ten years, previously faced deportation but was allowed to return under a Supreme Court ruling. He was arrested in Tennessee on smuggling charges after being <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >found transporting multiple passengers<\/a> during a traffic stop. The Justice Department has stated their intent not to allow him to be released, while Abrego Garcia&#8217;s legal team has expressed concerns about a potential unjust deportation to a third country. The case has seen conflicting legal strategies, with diffrent attorneys representing him in related proceedings and raising further complexities regarding his detention and legal status. A future hearing is set for July 16 to reconsider the arguments surrounding his case.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Judge says Abrego Garcia will remain jailed, citing deportation concerns<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2158994\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A federal judge on Monday agreed to allow Salvadoran national&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/daily-memo\/3386964\/essential-mystery-kilmar-abrego-garcia-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kilmar Abrego Garcia<\/a>&nbsp;to remain in jail awaiting further proceedings on federal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/human-smuggling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">human smuggling<\/a>&nbsp;charges in Tennessee, siding with a request from lawyers who have argued in separate but related proceedings for his release.<\/p>\n<p>The decision highlights how&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kilmar-abrego-garcia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abrego Garcia<\/a>&rsquo;s attorneys wish to avoid deportation.

A judge in 2019 found there was sufficient evidence to support&nbsp;the claim that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13, and a separate judge later upheld that finding.<\/p>\n<p>Amid public pressure for his return to the U.S. and a Supreme Court ruling that found the federal government should &ldquo;facilitate&rdquo; his return, Abrego Garcia was returned to the U.S. and arrested in Tennessee on human smuggling charges. The charges stemmed primarily from a 2022 traffic stop, during which police said Abrego Garcia was found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25965691-charges-against-kilmar-abrego-garcia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"transporting eight passengers\">transporting nine passengers<\/a> with no luggage, according to his indictment. Police found multiple cellphones and cash, and all the passengers said their destination was the same address as Abrego Garcia&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/justice-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice Department<\/a>&nbsp;spokesman Chad Gilmartin said last week that Abrego Garcia &ldquo;has been charged with horrific crimes&rdquo; and vowed he &ldquo;will not walk free in our country again.&rdquo; But DOJ lawyers also admitted in court that they can&rsquo;t control ICE&rsquo;s deportation timeline.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate case related to Abrego Garcia&rsquo;s return to the U.S. in Maryland federal court, the defendant&rsquo;s attorneys have sought to bar ICE from deporting him to a third country and have also asked the judge to order his return to Maryland, where his family resides. This contradicts his defense counsel&rsquo;s current request to remain in the Tennessee jail. Abrego Garcia is represented by two separate groups of lawyers in the pair of cases.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/homeland-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DHS<\/a>&nbsp;Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin has also said Abrego Garcia &ldquo;will never go free on American soil.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3455672\/abrego-garcia-possibly-deported-this-weekend-lawyers-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"ABREGO GARCIA COULD BE DEPORTED &lsquo;THIS WEEKEND,&rsquo; LAWYERS SAY\">ABREGO GARCIA COULD BE DEPORTED &lsquo;THIS WEEKEND,&rsquo; LAWYERS SAY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abrego Garcia&rsquo;s legal team has accused the Trump administration of trying to &ldquo;convict him in the court of public opinion&rdquo; and fear he&rsquo;ll be deported to a &ldquo;third country&rdquo; before defending himself, according to court records.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In a just world, he would not seek to prolong his detention further,&rdquo; his attorneys wrote in a filing Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2158994\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2158994\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge rules Abrego Garcia stays jailed due to deportation risks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2633,"featured_media":2454043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/KILMAR-ABREGO-GARCIA.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[53291,5471,50433],"class_list":["post-2454042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-abrego-garcia","tag-jail","tag-judge-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/KILMAR-ABREGO-GARCIA.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2454042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2633"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2454042"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2454042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2454046,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2454042\/revisions\/2454046"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2454043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2454042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2454042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2454042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
