Abrego Garcia’s lawyers stated that they support the court’s strategy.
In the Trump administration’s daily status report to the court.
DHS Acting General Counsel Joseph Mazarra stated fifteen minutes prior to the hearing that the administration is “prepared to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s presence in the United States.
In accordance with those processes if he presents at a port of entry.”
As Abrego Garcia is “being held in the sovereign, domestic custody” of El Salvador, Mazarra asserted, DHS lacks the power to take him “from the domestic custody of a foreign sovereign nation.”
According to Mazarra, Abrego Garcia could be detained by DHS if he shows up at a port of entry because of his claimed involvement with the criminal gang MS-13.
