NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia asked a federal judge in Tennessee on Friday to delay his release from jail because of “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration over whether or not he’ll be deported upon release.

A federal judge agreed to delay Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release after his lawyers pointed to conflicting reports from federal officials about whether he would remain in the U.S. while he awaits trial.

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.
