Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia say they are concerned that he will not get a fair trial in his human smuggling case because officials with the Trump administration keep attacking him with “highly prejudicial, inflammatory, and false statements.” The attorneys are asking a federal judge in Tennessee to order U.S. government officials involved with his case, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to hold back on their comments. In a filing, his attorneys wrote: “For months, numerous representatives of the same federal government that is responsible for prosecuting this case have publicly disparaged Mr. Abrego’s character and reputation.” The Salvadoran national and former Maryland construction worker was deported in March to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Facing a US Supreme Court order, the Trump administration returned Abrego Garcia in June, but only to face the federal human smuggling charges in Tennessee. Abrego Garcia has pleaded not guilty, while his attorneys have called the case preposterous and vindictive. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
