Kilmar Abrego Garcia wants a federal judge to punish Donald Trump’s administration after top officials repeatedly branded him a gang member and wife beater, among other “highly prejudicial, inflammatory, and false statements” about the wrongly deported Salvadoran immigrant, according to his attorneys.
A judge issued a gag order in October that blocks officials from making “any extrajudicial statements” that could compromise a fair trial against Abrego Garcia, who is battling criminal charges in one court while seeking protection against his deportation in another.
