Kilmar Abrego Garcia taken into ICE custody, lawyer says [View all]

Washington — Kilmar Abrego Garcia was taken into custody Monday by immigration authorities following his release from criminal custody last week, his lawyer said.

"As he was leaving the jail in Tennessee on Friday he'd been given a notice requiring him to check in at 8 a.m. this morning," Abrego Garcia's attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The notice stated that the reason was interview — clearly that was false."

Sandoval-Moshenberg said Abrego Garcia had filed a new lawsuit challenging his confinement and deportation to any country "unless and until he had a fair trial in an immigration court, as well as his full appeal rights."

Sandoval-Moshenberg said the ICE officer did not answer when asked about the reason for Abrego Garcia's detention and would not say which detention center he would be taken to or commit to providing paperwork.
