US Plans To Deport Kilmar, Just Not To El Salvador This Time

WASHINGTON (AP) " The Justice Department said Thursday that it intends to try Kilmar Abrego Garcia on federal smuggling charges in Tennessee before it moves to deport him, addressing fears that he could be expelled again from the U.S. within days. U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes in Nashville, Tennessee, recently ruled that Abrego Garcia has a right to be released from jail while awaiting trial on the smuggling charges. But she decided Wednesday to keep him in custody for at least a few more days over concerns that U.S. immigration officials would swiftly detain him and try to deport him again.

As expected. He finally received his due process regarding his immigration status, the human smuggling charges are relatively weak, so they would prefer leaning on the original plan just to deport the guy. He's still protected against being deported to El Salvador, IIRC. But with SCOTUS decision that undocumented immigrants can be sent to any country willing to take them, Garcia's option have run out. At least he won't be in El Salvadorian prison for the simple civil offense of being undocumented within US borders, but he might very well be sent elsewhere just as bad.

He doesn't want to go to El Salvador due to 'rival gangs' - hard to have that as an excuse as it assumes you are a gang member yourself.

Either way, this trash is being kicked out of the country and we will be better for it as a nation.
