White House: Report Abrego Garcia will be deported again "fake news"

The White House has denied a report that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, would be sent to a third country, calling it "fake news". Abrego Garcia was returned to the US earlier this month to face trial for human smuggling charges. A prosecutor stated in court that Abrego Garcia would be taken into ICE custody and removal proceedings would be initiated, with the possibility of being sent to a third country. However, the White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson claimed that Abrego Garcia would face trial in the US and serve time in an American prison. The Justice Department has also stated that Abrego Garcia will not be released in the US again. Abrego Garcia's lawyers are concerned that he may be released from prison in Tennessee and then removed by ICE over the weekend. A motion hearing is set for July 7 to discuss returning Abrego Garcia from Tennessee to Maryland. The Trump administration has a policy of deporting individuals to non-origin countries, which has been approved by the Supreme Court. Abrego Garcia's case has raised concerns about the administration's immigration policies. The Department of Homeland Security has declined to comment on future removal operations, citing operational security.
