Kilmar Abrego Garcia is currently being held in pre-trial detention in Tennessee after a federal grand jury indicted him on child trafficking charges.

Obama appointed judge Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr., is presiding over the criminal case in Tennessee.

However, there is a separate Abrego Garcia case in Judge Paula Xinis’ Maryland court.

The DOJ said Abrego Garcia will be deported as soon as he is released from prison (a federal judge recently refused to release Abrego Garcia to shield him from deportation).

Replying to @kyledcheney

XINIS: "For three months, your clients told the world they weren’t going to do anything to bring him back. The president said it in 2 interviews. Defendant Noem said it. Arguably, defendant Bondi said it. Am I really supposed to ignore all that?"

Replying to @kyledcheneyDOJ's GUYNN again says that if Abrego is released, "he will be removed." They're not waiting for the end of the criminal case. This, again contradicts numerous statements by Trump admin and WH who chastised reporters for pointing out this is what DOJ said earlier.
