A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump Administration to comply with the rules barring public statements about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia will face trial in the US before he is deported.
US District Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr., an Obama appointee, said, “all counsel are expected to comply with the Local Rules of this Court.”
Judge Crenshaw effectively put a gag order on the Trump Administration.

Judge Waverly Crenshaw said Abrego Garcia should not be detained as he awaits a trial on federal child-trafficking charges.
Judge Crenshaw is the second judge to order Abrego Garcia released pending trial. Last Sunday federal magistrate judge Barbara Holmes ruled MS-13 gang member and wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia should not be detained on his criminal charges.
Last month Kilmar Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty to human trafficking charges as and fought for his release pending trial.
A federal grand jury in Tennessee recently indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia for “transporting undocumented migrants within the United States.”
He was charged with one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and one count of unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens.

“If convicted at trial, the defendant faces a maximum punishment of 10 years’ imprisonment for ‘each alien’ he transported,” the government said.
ABC News reported that according to the government’s motion for detention, an Abrego Garcia co-conspirator told the feds that Abrego Garcia was involved in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.
Last month Fox News obtained 2022 bodycam footage that shows Kilmar Abrego Garcia being caught human trafficking in Tennessee.
