Abrego Garcia could be released July 16 after a pretrial hearing that day in Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Trump administration returned Abrego Garcia to the U.S. last month to face federal charges of human smuggling that stemmed from a 2019 traffic stop. Abrego Garcia has denied the charges.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Abrego Garcia\u2019s attorneys said in court Thursday that they found out Abrego Garcia was brought back to the U.S. through media reports and they were given no information by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">DOJ attorneys said that Abrego Garcia will be removed from the U.S. before his trial in Tennessee is complete.<\/p>\n<h4>Restraining order considered<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Attorneys for Abrego Garcia said Thursday they are concerned he will again be removed without due process or the ability to challenge his removal to another country if he fears he will experience harm or persecution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Earlier in the week, they pressed for Xinis to have Abrego Garcia brought back to Maryland, rather than remain in Tennessee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Xinis is still mulling that request from Abrego Garcia\u2019s attorneys. This week, she also denied the Department of Justice\u2019s move to dismiss the case as moot, because Abrego Garcia had been returned to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Xinis said Thursday she is considering issuing a temporary restraining order if Abrego Garcia is released on pre-trial detention. The order would last for 48 business hours and bar immigration officials from removing Abrego Garcia to a detention center outside of Tennessee or from the U.S.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">She also called for a hearing on Friday at 9 a.m. ET on the temporary restraining order.<\/p>\n<h4>Vague answers<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sascha Rand, an attorney representing Abrego Garcia in the immigration case in Maryland, grilled\u00a0Giles on how familiar he was with Abrego Garcia\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said that he had not directly overseen Abrego Garcia\u2019s case and had about four hours to prepare for Thursday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rand asked Giles which country Abrego Garcia would be removed to if not El Salvador.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said that if Abrego Garcia is removed to a third country, it would take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to determine which country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said that Mexico is one country that accepts nationals from other countries \u2013 including El Salvador \u2013 and has diplomatic assurance that an individual removed won\u2019t face harm.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He added that South Sudan is also a country that the Trump administration has deemed acceptable to send deportees to.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsfromthestates.com\/article\/us-supreme-court-allows-third-country-deportations-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a ruling last month<\/a>, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to move forward with removing eight men from different nationalities to South Sudan,\u00a0which recently experienced a civil war. The U.S. State Department\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/south-sudan-travel-advisory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advises\u00a0<\/a>against traveling to the country.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Xinis asked Giles if Mexico, \u201cat a minimum,\u201d would be a country Abrego Garcia could be removed to.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said that was possible.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rand asked if South Sudan was a possibility.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said that \u201cwe have removed people to South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rand then asked Giles multiple times which path the Trump administration was considering for Abrego Garica, either deportation to a third country, or trying to remove the 2019 bar on removal to El Salvador.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cDo you have any actual knowledge of which one of these tracks Mr. Abrego Garcia might be put on next Wednesday?\u201d Rand asked.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles said because Abrego Garcia is not in ICE custody, a discussion on the options for his removal is not happening. He said those determinations will be made once Abrego Garcia is in ICE detention.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giles added that it\u2019s also unclear where Abrego Garcia will be held in ICE detention, as it\u2019s based on available bed space, meaning Abrego Garcia could be transferred anywhere in the U.S.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protesters outside the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in Greenbelt rally on April 4, 2025, in support of Kilmar \u00a0Abrego Garcia, calling for him to be returned to the U.S. (Ariana Figueroa\/States Newsroom).
