Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in jail this week as lawyers argue over whether the U.S. Department of Justice can stop him from being deported.

Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a federal judge in Maryland to order his return to that state when he is released from jail in Tennessee, an arrangement that would prevent likely attempts by immigration officials to quickly deport Abrego Garcia.

Abrego Garcia asked a judge to order his return to Maryland and avoid ICE detention, but the DOJ argued sanctions were unwarranted due to good-faith efforts.
