President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien accused of being an MS-13 gang member and human smuggler, should he get released from jail ahead of a federal trial against him.
During a hearing in federal court on Thursday, DOJ prosecutors said they plan to deport Abrego Garcia to a third country, not his native El Salvador, should he be released from jail.
The prosecutors also said, though, that they do not have a timeline for when they would seek such a deportation against Abrego Garcia. The illegal alien is expected to be released from jail ahead of a human smuggling trial against him.
Earlier this month, Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty to human smuggling charges
