Federal prosecutors have told a judge in Maryland the government plans to initiate removal proceedings against Kilmar Abrego Garcia and to deport him to a country that is not El Salvador upon his release from a Tennessee jail.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain in jail as a federal judge in Nashville weighs whether prosecutors can keep him from being deported.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man the Trump administration mistakenly deported to El Salvador and who was returned to the United States to be charged with federal crimes, will remain in custody until at least Friday.
