Thursday, the lawyers of Kilmar Abrego Garcia asked a federal judge of Tennessee to prohibit the senior officials of Trump from making remarks on their client who could biaise the jury against him.

His defense team said the administration officials have repeatedly accused Abrego Garcia, a national Salvadoran in the face of accusations of human smuggling, of being a member of a criminal gang and has made other negative affirmations about it which poses a “substantial probability of materially prejudice to this procedure”.

Lawyers have underlined many recent cases, including the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, calling Abrego Garcia a “member of the Gang MS-13, of the human trafficker, the serial domestic aggressor and the children’s predator”.

“She also called Mr. Abrego a” monster “,” wrote lawyers.

This is the second time that ABREGO GARCIA’s lawyers have asked the judge to brake the declarations of the administration. Judge Waverly Crenshaw previously responded by recalling the government to follow all the rules and procedures typical for prosecution, which include the prohibition of prosecutors to make prejudicial declarations outside the court.

ABREGO GARCIA lawyers asked Crenshaw, one appointed by Obama, to ban officials from the Ministry of Homeland Security, officials of the Ministry of Justice and any other person involved in the case of making such declarations.

Abrego Garcia was wrongly expelled by the Trump administration to a prison in El Salvador in March. The government said for almost two months in combative hearings and legal documents that he could not return, despite an order from the Supreme Court to try to do so.

In a surprise decision in June, the DoJ returned it to the United States and brought an indictment against him for two conspiracy leaders to transport illegal immigrants to the country.

He was released from prison last week as he was waiting for his trial, but the immigration authorities quickly recognized him in Maryland, realizing the fears previously expressed in court by Abrego Garcia and his lawyers.

In a separate civil affair in Maryland, a judge forbidden the government to deport Abrego Garcia until at least October. It is unlikely that the Doj needs to prove his criminal file against Abrego Garcia if he is expelled.

ABREGO GARCIA’s lawyers have said that since his release, attacks by the Trump administration against their client outside the court only worse.

Tom Homan, Trump’s tsar border, appeared on television on Fox News this week and called Abrego Garcia “a member of a gang, terrorist, drummer, pedophile, human trafficker, (and) foreign passer,” said lawyers. Abrego Garcia was accused by his wife in 2020 for defeating him. He does not face accusations of trafficking in human beings and he denied all the allegations against him.

“The substance of these declarations, such as the innumerable other declarations highlighted in previous memories before this court, clearly violates (prosecutor’s rules) and prejudices of Mr. Abrego’s law to a fair trial,” the lawyers wrote.

They asked that if Crenshaw did not want to exercise restrictions on the speech of Trump officials, the judge should, in the alternative, demand that the government explain how he respected the pursuit rules.
