Kilmar Abrego Garcia, entangled in a federal human smuggling case, is set to remain in jail as legal discussions unfold about his possible deportation. A federal judge acknowledged Garcia's right to release under certain conditions, but concerns were raised about him potentially being detained by ICE. The court hearing highlighted tensions between US federal agencies over immigration enforcement. The acting U.S. Attorney has suggested that keeping Garcia incarcerated is essential to prevent his deportation due to confusion in protocols between the U.S. Attorney's office and ICE, especially amid ongoing immigration policy disputes under the Trump administration.
"I don't think I have any authority over ICE."
"I have no reservations about my ability to direct the local U.S. Attorney's office."
